I just read that cloves only grow in several countries like Indonesia and Bangladesh for example.

Nope, no new spices. But there do seem to be new flavor combos being created. I just read about this:
Chefs embrace the spicy-herbal-citrusy hit of shichimi togarashi in everything from salad to seafood to cocktails.
As long as there are plant species, that have been yet to be discovered, or created (by cross pollination and grafting, or genetic manipulation) then yes.
How would we know? If they haven’t been discovered, then how would we know that they are there to be discovered?
Seems like a silly question, actually.
My guess is that there are things out there in nature that have not been identified. Whether they taste good is another story.
