Borneol / camphor (龍腦香: examining the karpūra incense tree of the Western Regions, its trunk resembles a pine but its leaves are different, and its flowers and fruit are also distinct; when first gathered it is moist and has no aroma yet; after the wood dries, it is prepared and split open, and within it is an incense shaped like mica and coloured like ice and snow; this is what is called dragon-brain incense [龍腦香]).
