Lvs. odd-pinnate, with 3-5 pairs of Lfts.; Lfts. ovate, acute, membranous, smooth on both sides, entire, the netted veins prominent on the under side: fls. staminate and pistillate, appearing before the Lvs. or as they unfold, in knotty racemes somewhat resembling those of the choke cherry: fr. a drupe, with a 3-valved succulent rind and 3-5 nuts.—A tall tree with a straight trunk and spreading head, found in Fla., Mex., and Cent. Amer. and the W. Indies. Wood very light, speclfic gravity when dry 30; useless even for fuel; decays very rapidly. It yields a sweet, aromatic balsam, which is used in Trop. Amer. as a medicine for internal and external application; dried, it is known in the trade as Chibou, or Cachibou resin, or Gomart resin.
