Cinnamomum verum
Cinnamon is the name for several species of trees and the commercial spice products that some of them produce. All are members of the genus "Cinnamomum" in the family Lauraceae. Only a few "Cinnamomum" species are grown commercially for spice. "Cinnamomum verum" is sometimes considered to be "true cinnamon", but most cinnamon in international commerce is derived from the related species "Cinnamomum cassia", also referred to as "cassia". In 2018, Indonesia and China produced 70% of the world's supply of cinnamon, Indonesia producing nearly 40% and China 30%.
