'There are many species of Camphor; the ho-sho variety produces ho leaf and ho wood oil; the Chinese variety produces apopin oil; the Japan and Taiwan type known as Hon-sho or true Camphor, produces two chemotypes: camphor-safrol (Japan) and camphor-linalol (Taiwan).  All these are to be distinguished from the Borneo camphor or borneol, which is of different botanical origin' - an excerpt from The Complete Essential Oils - by Julia Lawless.  This book has now been discontinued.

'Ho-leaf and Ho-wood oils are obtained from a variety of camphor tree and like all camphors is a hazardous oil and I would strongly advise using it at home.' - an excerpt from Aromatherapy an A - Z  by Patricia Davis.
