Syzygium aromaticum, also known as clove, is a tropical evergreen tree from the Myrtaceae family, native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. It is prized for its flower buds which, when dried, produce the clove spice used widely in culinary and medicinal applications worldwide. The clove buds, leaves, and stems are all rich with aromatic oils, especially eugenol, which has antiseptic and anesthetic properties.
