ELEMI

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 259 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ECG-EMS
ELEMI , an oleo-resin (Manilla elemi) obtained in the Philippine Islands, probably from Canarium commune (nat. ord. Burseraceae), which when fresh and of good quality is a
pale
  yellow granular substance, of honey-like consistency, but which gradually hardens with age. It is soluble in
alcohol
  and ether, and has a spicy
taste
  with a smell like fennel. In the 17th and 18th centuries the
term
  elemi usually denoted an oleo-resin (American or Brazilian elemi) obtained from trees of the genus Icica in Brazil, and still earlier it meant oriental or
African
  elemi, derived from Boswellia Frereana, which flourishes in the neighbourhood of Cape Gardafui. The word, like the older
term
  animi, appears to have been derived from enhaemon(Gr. Evaeov), the name of a styptic
medicine
  said by Pliny to contain tears exuded by the olive tree of Arabia'.
