This needs serious attention since this article is er, just wrong. Copal is derived from the Spanish word copalli and is a generic term referring to the resinous secretions of a wide range of trees, both in terms of species and in geographic distribution. I will remove the obviously erroneous stuff and try and make sense of this asap. Sjc 13:00, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I’ve removed additions that seem way out of bounds for WP. Copal is a colloquial term. The references cited are non-scientific, and in one case commercial. The content that seems copied is apparently non-verifiable from an authoritative source, and suffers from begging the question issues. SNP 02:45, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
