BENZOIN (Styrax benzoin Dryander.) ++While the PH2 covers three species of the genus Styrax and one of the genus Liquidambar, few
people can identify the resins of these trees, the product of commerce. Recent authorities maintain
that the “incense” used in the service of the Tabernacle was a mixture, in definite proportions
of frankincense, galbanum (Ferula galbaniflua), onycha (Styrax benzoin), and stacte (Styrax
officinalis), and the use of any incense not composed of these four ingredients in the proper
proportions was strictly forbidden (BIB).
