Hmmm.. i've found almaciga on the web.
It is a tree found in South East Asia. There are several varieties,
among them Agathis alba, Agathis borneensis, and Agathis dammara.
The resin of the tree is used in a number of products. Among its uses
is as incense, in the modern usage of the word - meaning stuff that
is burned for its pleasant smell and for religious purposes. An
alternate name for it is Manila copal, since some species are found
in the Philippines, which was colonized by the Spanish in the 16th
century IIRC. Apparently the tree is now an endangered species. Could
this be what you're after?
