Looks like a Piper to me. Not sure what species but it has resemblance to P. crocatum.

This one is supposedly out of Borneo.

Well I can get similar looking ones. I'm not exactly positive which species is in your picture.

That looks like Piper ornatum to me and is how this picture is labeled here.
