The cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), a member of the laurel family (Lauraceae). The delicious, fragrant spice cinnamon is obtained from the ground inner bark of trunks and branches. Another species of Cinnamomum (C. camphora) is the source of camphor oil, a monoterpene essential oil distilled from the wood.
