I also found a turpentine tree, nicknamed the tourist tree because the bark is always red and peeling like a sunburned visitor.

Turpentine Tree, burseræ gummifera, belongs to the order diœcia, class polygamia; the calyx is triphyllous, the corolla three-leaved, and the seed-vessel tri-valved.

Commercially important also is the turpentine tree of southern Europe.

Near Cairo, at a fountain wherein the Virgin Mary washed her infant’s clothes, a lamp was, three centuries ago, kept burning to her honour in the hollow of an old fig tree, which had served them as a place of shelter, according to the “Itinerario de Antonio Tenreio;” and Maundrell, who travelled in 1697, saw between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, the famous turpentine tree, in the shade of which the blessed Virgin is said to have reposed when she was carrying Christ in her arms.

North of Port Jackson it bears the name of `Turpentine Tree' and `Forest Mahogany.'
