Myristica argentea
Myristica argentea is a tree that grows in the primary rain forests of New Guinea. It is occasionally a source of nutmeg, and it (or its seed) is called Macassar nutmeg, Papua(n) nutmeg, long nutmeg or silver nutmeg. M. malabarica is used to adulterate true nutmeg, which comes from Myristica fragrans.

gollark: If a thing works differently in real life to ingame, people frequently decide that the real-life version must be better, even though this is not necessarily the case because the setting is completely different.
gollark: But don't fall into the trap of blindly copying some real-life thing into Minecraft like *so many* people do with "OS"es.
gollark: I think what might work better is some sort of loan thing?
