Le Pimenta officinalis Lindl.-syn. Eugenia pimenta D. C., Pimenta dioica(L.) Merr.-s’appelle officiellement en français piment de la Jamaïque(ISO/CT 34 «Produits agricoles alimentaires», sous-comité 7 «Épices»). Il est donc souhaitable que disparaissent du commerce des appellations aussi imprécises que toute-épice et quatre-épices. Autrefois, cette dernière expression s’appliquait à des graines aromatiques comme la nigelle et le genièvre qui pouvaient, à elles seules, tenir lieu de mélanges d’épices. 1, record 4, French, - piment%20de%20la%20Jama%C3%AFque%20entier
