Borneo camphor

Source : Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

Borneol \Bor"ne*ol\, n. [Borneo + -ol.] (Chem.)
   A rare variety of camphor, {C10H17.OH}, resembling ordinary
   camphor, from which it can be produced by reduction. It is
   said to occur in the camphor tree of Borneo and Sumatra
   ({Dryobalanops camphora}), but the natural borneol is rarely
   found in European or American commerce, being in great
   request by the Chinese. Called also {Borneo camphor}, {Malay
   camphor}, and {camphol}.
