Elemi, from

Elemi is an oleoresin derived from several tree species but usually refers to Manila Elemi from the Elemi tree, Canarium luzonicum, which is native to the Philippines. The fragrant oleoresin exudes from the bark as a clear pale liquid, but hardens on exposure to the air and sunlight. Elemi is a pale yellow aromatic resin with a consistency similar to honey and has a pine and lemon fragrance. However, while some Elemi oleoresins remain soft, others become very hard. Elemi can be steam distilled to produce an aromatic essential oil. It was used in old fashioned salves, and is still used in medicinal preparations.
