Eugenia caryophyllus is the botanical name of which spice ?

  • A.Clove
  • B.Cardamom
  • C.Nutmeg
  • D.Cinnamon

Answer: A

Eugenia caryophyllus is the botanical name of clove.

Clove is the dried flower bud of the tree now usually called Syzygium aromaticum (family Myrtaceae). Its volatile oil is rich in eugenol, used as a dental analgesic and antiseptic.

Cardamom is Elettaria cardamomum, nutmeg is Myristica fragrans, and cinnamon is Cinnamomum zeylanicum (C. verum), so none of them carries the name Eugenia.
