Dorema (dorema, a gift, an allusion to the gift of gum ammoniac). Umbelliferae. About 4 odd large perennial herbs of S. W. Asia, yielding gum-resins, likely to be met with in collections of economic plants. Usually glaucous, with pinnately decompound lvs., and small white or yellow fls. in close woolly umbels: calyx-teeth wanting or nearly so; petals ovate: fr. ovate, piano-compressed. D. Ammoniacum, D. Don, an erect fleshy-stemmed herb to 7 ft., with a few lvs. near the base and bracts above, yields gum-ammoniac, a medicinal product. This resin exudes on the sting of insects, occurring in yellowish brown "tears" or drops; it has a balsamic odor and bitter unpleasant taste. The plant is native in Persia and Afghanistan. Other species yield similar exudation. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
