Mmmm... the wonderful smell of allspice. I've often wondered if, since the smell of the spicy seeds are similar to the smell of a combination of cinnamon bark and clove buds,...if it was somehow related to those two other plants?

Cinnamon trees are grown here...however, they are in the Laureceae (Laurel) family. Allspice tree and Clove is in the same family Myrtaceae (Myrlte)
