Animé, an oleo-resin (said to be so called because in its natural state it is infested with insects) which is discharged from the
locust tree,
Hymenaea coumaril, and other species of Hymenaea growing in tropical
South America. It is a pale brown colour, transparent, brittle, and because of its agreeable odour is used for fumigation and in perfumery. Its
specific gravity varies from 1.054 to 1.057. It melts readily over fire, and softens even with the heat of the mouth. It is insoluble in water, and nearly so in cold alcohol. It is allied to
copal in its nature and appearance, and is much used by
varnish makers. The name is also given to Zanzibar copal.
