Botany

Native to the Asian islands of Japan and Formosa, camphor is cultivated in Europe, Africa, India, and the Americas.
It is a large, attractive evergreen tree, similar to the lime tree, reaching a height of up to forty meters.
It has large, leathery, oval leaves and small, cream-colored flowers gathered in spring spikes.
A crystalline compound exudes from the bark of specimens over fifty years old: this is raw camphor.
