Bdelium (also spelt bdellium or bdellion) is an aromatic gum-like myrrh that is exuded from the tree species Commiphora wightii and Commiphora africana and at least one other Indian species, C. stocksiana.[1]
Bdellium had some magical properties and, as such, 2 drachms of it were a component of Belch Powder.[2][3]
