Allspice \All"spice`\, n.
   The berry of the pimento (Eugenia pimenta), a tree of the
   West Indies; a spice of a mildly pungent taste, and agreeably
   aromatic; Jamaica pepper; pimento. It has been supposed to
   combine the flavor of cinnamon, nutmegs, and cloves; and
   hence the name. The name is also given to other aromatic
   shrubs; as, the Carolina allspice (Calycanthus floridus);
   wild allspice (Lindera benzoin), called also spicebush,
   spicewood, and feverbush.
