Used as a common, domestic spice worldwide, Cloves have long buds with rosy-pink corolla at the tip. As these long buds are beaten off the trees and dried, they change colour as the corolla fades from calyx to red. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Cloves were one of the many precious spices in Europe, used in medicines, herbalism, and dentistry.
