- A rare variety of camphor, C10H17.OH, resembling ordinary
camphor, from which it can be produced by reduction. It is said to
occur in the camphor tree of Borneo and Sumatra (Dryobalanops
camphora), but the natural borneol is rarely found in European or
American commerce, being in great request by the Chinese. Called also
Borneo camphor, Malay camphor, and camphol.
