Liquidambar Orientalis

It has five-lobed, finely toothed leaves, smaller than those of the other more commonly cultivated Liquidambars.
Even the autumn colors, while attractive, are less vibrant.
In some years, dark, purple, and scarlet colors are present.
Since ancient times, this tree has always been considered valuable for its natural balsam content, used for the production of cosmetics and medicines and as a love potion and perfume by the
Egyptian Queen Cleopatra.
