Balm of Gilead (Bot.), a small evergreen African and
Asiatic tree of the terebinthine family (Balsamodendron
Gileadense). Its leaves yield, when bruised, a strong
aromatic scent; and from this tree is obtained the balm of
Gilead of the shops, or balsam of Mecca. This has a
yellowish or greenish color, a warm, bitterish, aromatic
taste, and a fragrant smell. It is valued as an unguent
and cosmetic by the Turks. The fragrant herb
Dracocephalum Canariense is familiarly called balm of
Gilead, and so are the American trees, Populus
balsamifera, variety candicans (balsam poplar), and
Abies balsamea (balsam fir).
