下面是我能找到的把豆蔻分类讲得最好的资料。因为中文翻译的混乱，使得许多地方讲起豆蔻都不够清楚。如Elettaria cardamomum 在下面的资料里是说绿豆蔻，中文翻译对应成白豆蔻，是否对呢?
以下资料来自维基百科:

Cardamom refers to several plants of the similar genera Elettaria and Amomum in theginger family Zingiberaceae. Both genera are native to India, Pakistan, Nepal, andBhutan; they are recognised by their small seed pods, triangular in cross-section and spindle-shaped, with a thin, papery, outer shell and small black seeds. Guatemala is the biggest producer and exporter of cardamom in the world, followed by India. Some other countries, such as Sri Lanka, have also begun to cultivate it. Elettaria pods are light green, while Amomum pods are larger and dark brown.
It is the world's third-most expensive spice by weight, outstripped in market value only bysaffron and vanilla.
Types and distribution
Green and black cardamom
The two main genera of the ginger family named as forms of cardamom are distributed as follows:
• Elettaria (commonly called cardamom, green cardamom, or true cardamom) is distributed from India to Malaysia.
• Amomum (commonly known as black cardamom, brown cardamom, kravan, Java cardamom, Bengal cardamom, Siamese cardamom, white cardamom, or red cardamom) is distributed mainly in Asia and Australia.
The two types of cardamom, κάρδαμομον and ἄμωμον, were distinguished in the fourth century BCE by the Greek father of botany, Theophrastus. Some of his informants[who?]told him these varieties came to Greece from the land of the Medes in northern Persia, while others were aware it came originally from India.[7]
