Liquidambar (genus) (Altingiaceae (family), Saxifragales (order), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Genus containing four extant species of large, deciduous trees, and several fossil species. The genus was much more widespread in the Tertiary, but has disappeared from Europe, western North America, and the Russian far East due to glaciation and climate change. The trees are valued for resin, timber, and ornament, producing bright red leaves in the fall. The resin from liquidambar trees (storax) has been used in perfumes and embalming.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 具有四種現存的大型落葉喬木，以及數個僅發現植物化石的種類。普遍生長於第三紀，由於冰河作用與氣候變遷，現已自歐洲、北美洲西部與俄國遠東消失。可生產樹脂、木材，也具觀賞價值，秋季時葉片轉為明亮的紅色。所產生的樹脂（蘇合香脂storax）用於製作香水與屍體的防腐保存。 |
| Dutch ..... Genus van vier bestaande soorten grote loofbomen en diverse fossiele soorten. Het genus kwam in het tertiair veel meer voor, maar is nu als gevolg van ijstijden en klimaatveranderingen verdwenen uit Europa, het westen van Noord-Amerika en het Russische Verre Oosten. De bomen worden gewaardeerd vanwege hun hars en hout en als sierboom. In de herfst worden de bladeren helderrood. De hars van de bomen uit dit genus (storaxhars) gebruikte men voor het maken van parfums en voor het balsemen van lichamen. |
