龍腦香(西域記羯布羅香樹松身異葉花果亦別初採既濕尚未有香木乾之後修理而析其中有香狀若雲母色如冰雪此謂龍腦香也)。

Borneol incense (龍腦香; The *Record of the Western Regions* states: 'The karpūra-incense tree has the trunk of a pine, but distinct leaves, flowers, and fruits. When newly harvested and still wet, it has no scent. After the wood dries, it is dressed and split open; inside it there is incense shaped like mica, with a colour like ice and snow. This is called borneol incense').
