FRANKINCENSE OLIBANUM FRASERS FIR

FRANKINCENSE, OLIBANUM (Boswellia sacra Flueck.) ++

Synonym :
Boswellia carteri Birdw.

doubt that many people can swear on a stack of bibles whether a resin is frankincense or myrrh,
or one or the other species or genus, or a mixture of many species. Let the buyer beware. The
frankincense problem is a frankensteinian taxonomic nightmare.
