This pretty much renders the rest of my post null and void, but for what  
it's worth:
 
I actually hadn't searched for this phrase. The only result in Google Books 
 is from 1663:


Relation du voyage de Perse et des Indes Orientales, traduite de  l'anglois 
...
By Thomas Herbert, Van Wicquefort

Where he  translates the Malay Bengo as "feuille de muscade".

A botany from 1834 gives:

Bengo Pela, Malay. The Nutmeg, called Nuw  myristica, or balsam not, by the 
old writers, from the Greek pvpiotikoq,  balsamica, is a dioecious tree, a 
native of the Moluccas, or Spice  Islands

On the other hand, Savary de Bruslon's eighteenth century Dictionnaire  
universel de commerce gives it as "macis":
