Styrax, Linn. A mere alteration of Assthirak, the 
Arabic name of S. officinale. Linn. 10, Or. 1, Nat. 
Or. Ebenaceae. The species of Styrax are very

suits them best, and they are readily increased by 
layers, in spring or autumn. S. officinale is remark- 
able for producing the very powerful and fragrant 
balsam known by the name of storax ; it is bitter 
and pungent to the taste, and possesses a strong, 
agreeable odour. Synonyme : 1. S. glabrum.
