Eugenia Pimento
The fruits of this West Indian tree are known in
commerce as allspice; the berries have a peculiarly grateful odor
and flavor, resembling a combination of cloves, nutmeg, and
cinnamon; hence the name of allspice. The leaves when bruised emit
a fine aromatic odor, and a delicate odoriferous oil is distilled
from them, which is said to be used as oil of cloves. The berries,
bruised and distilled with water, yield the pimento oil of
commerce.
