Pimento nearest relatives?

Recommended Posts

I don't have a taxonomy book, and all my searches end up with so much unrelated garbage on them I'm lost. So if anyone has any handy taxonomic references

What's the nearest relative of Pimenta dioica , aka pimento, allspice, Jamaican pepper, family Myrtaceae?

And can anyone recommend me a good reference outlining the inter-relationship between plant species? One with big diagrams would be healthy smile.gif

You fooled me. If noone responds you should title the post 'allspice nearest relatives?'

For most people pimento means Capsicum annuum cv. Pimento.

How about the following species as loosely related

Guava - all species Psidium sp

Cloves - and Other Eugenia sp

Lillypilly, Roseapple - all species Szyzygium

Feijoa - Feijoa sellowiana (?)

If i have assumed Pimento is in this group incorrectly please let me know
