Nutmeg

Nutmeg belongs to a family characterized by medium to large evergreen trees often found in tropical forests. The members usually have glossy, simple leaves arranged alternately, giving them a lush appearance. Their fragrant flowers lead to fruit typically borne in dense clusters, each enclosing a single, large seed enveloped by a fleshy covering, which is crucial for their dispersal by animals.
