  Borneol \Bor"ne*ol\, n. [Borneo + -ol.] (Chem.)
     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.
