Styrax paralleloneurus
Species of plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Styrax paralleloneurus (syn. Styrax sumatranus) is a species of Styrax native to Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia.[1] It is the main source of benzoin in Sumatra.[2] Its balsamic resin is superior to that of Styrax benzoin, another source of benzoin Sumatra, as the latter dries slowly and remains sticky, hence more inpurities.[3][4] It can have the largest galls of any known plant; up to 20 cm long,[5][6] and about half as wide.
