Canada balsam, or Canada turpentine, is the oleoresinous exudation of the balsam fir, a coniferous tree indigenous to the United States and Canada. The oleoresin, which consists of a resinous substance dissolved in an essential oil, is
secreted in schizogenous vessels in the bark, and collects in small cavities, which eventually become blisters. These are punctured and the oleoresin collected.
Canada balsam forms a viscid yellow liquid, frequently showing a distinct green fluorescence. It has a pleasant,
turpentiny odour and a bitter acrid taste. On keeping, the essential oil gradually evaporates and the resin dries to a hard, transparent varnish.
