The mace plant, scientifically known as Myristica fragrans, is an evergreen tree that can grow up to 20 meters tall. It has dark green, glossy leaves that are oval-shaped and can reach up to 15 centimeters in length. The tree produces yellowish flowers and, most notably, its fruit resembles a peach, which contains a hard seed surrounded by a bright red aril, known as mace. The aril is the part used as a spice, while the seed is known as nutmeg.
