The correct botanical name for Melegueta Pepper has been discussed over a long pe-riod, and there are certain points that are not yet completely clarified. Linnaeus described a plant called Amomum Granum Paradisi in his "Species Plantarum" (2nd ed., 18th Century), based probably on Melegueta Pepper. The speci-men used as the type for this Melegueta Pepper and A#amomum mele- gueta will be considered synonymous in this review. Confusion with other plants will be discussed later. Melegueta Pepper, a reed-like plant with scarlet fruits growing near the ground, is quite unrelated to the true pepper (Piper nigrum). It attracted much interest for Aframomum melegueta (Grains of Paradise) is a. spice with a similar composition as Ginger that. belongs to the same Zingiberaceae family. It is. used in Nigeria, West Africa.
