An emmenagogue gum resembling myrrh.

-
A gum-resin, brought from the Levant and India, and supposed to be obtained from a species of Amyris, little known. It is solid, brittle, of a deep brown colour, of an acrid and bitter taste, and sweet odour. It was much vaunted by the ancients, but is now little employed. Two different gum-resins have been in the shops, distinguished by the names Indian and African bdellium. Dr. Royle was informed that the former was obtained from Am'yris Commiph'ora, growing in India and Madagascar. The latter is said to be from Heudelo'tia Africa'na, which grows in Senegal.
