 stacte
      n : (Old Testament) one of several sweet-smelling spices used in
          incense

From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Stacte
    (Heb. nataph), one of the components of the perfume which was
    offered on the golden altar (Ex. 30:34; R.V. marg.,
    "opobalsamum"). The Hebrew word is from a root meaning "to
    distil," and it has been by some interpreted as distilled myrrh.
    Others regard it as the gum of the storax tree, or rather shrub,
    the Styrax officinale. "The Syrians value this gum highly, and
    use it medicinally as an emulcent in pectoral complaints, and
    also in perfumery."
