Description
A chemical class of C20 hydrocarbon compounds that constitute the natural resins obtained from trees in the Coniferae and Leguminosae families.

Examples of natural resins formed from diterpenoid compounds: Rosin, Venice turpentine, Strasbourg turpentine, Canada balsam, Copaiba balsam, Sandarac, and Copal.
