''Amomum'' is a genus of plant native to China, the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Queensland.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔(Flora of China v 24 p 347, 豆蔻属 dou kou shu, ''Amomum'' Roxburgh, Pl. Coromandel. 3: 75. 1820. )〕 It includes several species of cardamom, especially black cardamom. Plants of this genus are remarkable for their pungency and aromatic properties.〔Govaerts, R. (1995). World Checklist of Seed Plants 1(1, 2): 1-483, 1-529. MIM, Deurne.〕〔Lamxay, V. & Newman, M.F. (2012). A revision of ''Amomum'' (Zingiberaceae) in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Edinburgh Journal of Botany 69: 99-206.〕 Among ancient writers, the name ''amomum'' was ascribed to various odoriferous plants that cannot be positively identified today. The word derives from Latin ''amomum'',〔(amomum ), Charlton T. Lewis, Charles Short, ''A Latin Dictionary'', on Perseus Digital Library〕 which is the latinisation of the Greek ἄμωμον (''amomon''), a kind of an Indian spice plant.〔(ἄμωμον ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus Digital Library〕 Edmund Roberts noted on his 1834 trip to China that ''amomum'' was utilized as a spice to "season sweet dishes," in culinary practice. ==Selected species== ''See List of ''Amomum'' species for a complete list.'' *''Amomum aculeatum'' *''Amomum aromaticum'' *''Amomum austrosinense'' *''Amomum costatum'' (black cardamom) *''Amomum dallachyi'' *''Amomum dealbatum'' *''Amomum foetens'' *''Amomum gracile'' *''Amomum longiligulare'' *''Amomum longipes'' *''Amomum ovoideum'' *''Amomum magnificum'' *''Amomum odontocarpum'' *''Amomum sahyadricum'' *''Amomum subulatum'' (black cardamom) *''Amomum testaceum'' *''Amomum truncatum'' *''Amomum tsaoko'' *''Amomum villosum'' *''Amomum xanthioides'' (black cardamom seed) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amomum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
