The clove tree is an evergreen tree from the myrtle family (Myrtaceae) that can grow up to 15 metres high. Its shiny, leathery leaves are opposite and, like the rest of the plant, exude an intense, spicy fragrance due to the essential oil they contain. The unopened flower buds - the so-called cloves - are particularly characteristic and are used as a valued spice and remedy due to their high eugenol content.
