- Details and product descriptionIntroduction:
Amyris is an evergreen tree native to the West Indies and Central America. The tree grows to about 60 feet (I8 m) high and has clusters of white flowers that develop into edible bluish-black fruit.
History:More commonly referred to as West Indian sandalwood oil, it should not be confused with the botanical species Santalum album that originates in India and Indonesia. The botanical origin of the Amyris tree remained obscure until 1886 when initial attempts by Kirkby and Holmes identified striking differences between this species and true sandalwood by microscopic examination of the leaves. In recognition of the efforts of an EO Company called Schimmel & Co, the botanical name for this plant was originally Schimmelia oleifera n. sp. Subsequently it was classified as Amyris balsamifera L. by Urban. The locals call it "candle wood" since it burns like a candle because of its high EO content.
