What about Vietnamese or Saigon cinnamon? Below is an excerpt from Wikipedia.
Saigon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum loureiroi, also known as Vietnamese cinnamon
orVietnamese cassia and Qu? Trà My or Qu? Thanh in Vietnam) is an evergreen
tree in the genus Cinnamomum, indigenous to mainland Southeast Asia. Despite
its name, it is more closely related to Cassia (C. aromaticum) than to Cinnamon
(C. verum), though in the same genus as both. Saigon cinnamon has 1-5%
essential oil in content and 25%cinnamaldehyde in essential oil, which is the
highest of all the cinnamon species.
Sounds like it might be a good one to use as a fungicide and it's available
from Costco or at least they're selling something called Saigon Cinnamon. Of
course they don't give the Latin name of the plant they harvest it from.
