Anotations

Scope note:

Term used indiscriminately to refer to soft, low quality copal resins, but particularly the resin obtained from the Hymenaea courbaril trees of South America. The name has also been used for the hard, semi-fossilized, high-quality Zanzibar copal, but anime may be distinguished from other copals by being soft, clear, and alcohol-soluble. There are a number of other oleoresinous products also known as 'anime," or "gum anime."
