Amomum Melegueta
Malaguetta pepper, or grains of paradise; belonging to the ginger family, _Zingiberaceae_. The seeds of this and other species are imported from Guinea; they have a very warm and camphor-like taste, and are used to give a fictitious strength to adulterated liquors, but are not considered particularly injurious to health. The seeds are aromatic and stimulating, and form, with other seeds of similar plants, what are known as cardamoms.
