| Material Notes | Elemi gum is a natural oleoresin in the subgroup of turpentines. It consists almost entirely of resin and essential oil. The term gum is thus a misnomer. Elemi is an exudation of a pathological product from the tree, Canarium Commune and other species of Canarium which grow wild and, to a lesser degree, cultivated in the Philippine islands. The tree belongs to the same family as do those which yield myrrh, olibanum, opopanax and Indian linaloe. tsca definition 2008: extractives and their physically modified derivatives. canarium commune, burseraceae. |
