The leaves appearing in pairs, are lanceolate, acute at both ends and are of dark shining green colour. The aromatic nature of the leaves is due to numerous oil glands found on their under surfaces. The flower buds are greenish when fresh and are borne on end, which are picked green and dried in the sun till they become dark brown, from the clove of commerce. The buds have slightly cylindrical base and are surmounted by the plump ball like unopened corolla which is surmounted by the four toothed calyx.
