Storax is a common name for plants in the genus Liquidambar, particularly Liquidambar orientalis, known for its fragrant resin. Storax and Styrax are often confused due to their similar names, but they are distinct in the botanical world. On the other hand, Styrax is a genus of about 130 species of large shrubs or small trees, including the Common sweetleaf (Symplocos tinctoria). The term 'styrax' is also used to refer to the resin obtained from the trees of this genus. In summary, while both storax and styrax are associated with fragrant resins, they refer to different plant genera.

Q&A of Common sweetleaf (Symplocos tinctoria)
- What is the difference between storax and styrax?
- choice
There are two types of this plant: Variety A and Variety B. Variety A has bigger leaves and withstands dry conditions better, so it grows well where it is arid. Variety B is good for small gardens because it is compact and has many flowers. When getting seeds, pick ones that are plump, firm and undamaged. For seedlings, healthy plants with bright green leaves and strong stems are best. Make sure the roots are well-grown and not tangled. It's important to choose the variety that fits the place you are growing it and what you like.
