Storax is also a name for trees in the genus Styrax

Storax is the resinous exudate of the Sweetgum (Liquidambar), occasionally used in incense or as an aromatic fixative in perfumery. It was used in Eduard Simon's experiments from 1835-1839, eventually leading to the discovery of polystyrene, the first man-made polymer. The similarly named styrax is from a different plant.
