Gathering Cardamoms. Cardamom (sometimes cardamon or cardamum) is a spice made from the seeds of several plants in the genera Elettaria and Amomum in the family Zingiberaceae. Both genera are native to the Indian subcontinent and Indonesia. They are recognized by their small seed pods: triangular in cross-section and spindle-shaped, with a thin, papery outer shell and small, black seeds; Elettaria pods are light green and smaller, while Amomum pods are larger and dark brown. from the book ' The romance of Empire drugs ' Published in London by the Scientific Department at Stafford Allen and Son
