Any good anagrams for camphire tree?

n.s..

It hath leaves like those of the pear tree, but full of ribs, which grow alternately on the branches; the flowers consist of one leaf, divided into five or six segments; the fruit is shaped like a nut, the shell tender, and the kernel bifid. There are two sorts of this tree; one is a native of the isle of Borneo, from which the best camphire is taken, which is supposed to be a natural exudation from the tree, produced in such places where the bark of the tree has been wounded or cut. The other sort is a native of Japan, which Dr. Kempfer describes to be a kind of bay, bearing black or purple berries, and from whence the inhabitants prepare their camphire, by making a simple decoction of the root and wood of this tree, cut into small pieces; but this sort of camphire is, in value, eighty or an hundred times less than the true Bornean camphire.
