Opopanax chironium

Opopanax chironium, common name Hercules' all-heal,[2] is a herb of the family Apiaceae.

[3] This perennial herb has a branching stem, thick and rough close to the base.

It produces a large, flat, yellow inflorescence at the top of the branches.

It has a strong unpleasant odor, unlike the perfumery's opopanax which is aromatic.

[3] Opopanax resin is most frequently sold in dried irregular pieces, though tear-shaped gems are not uncommon.
