This member of the Burseraceae family was
given this name by Hans Schinz in 1908. It is found in southern
Africa, growing in a well
drained soil with some water and lots of sun. It starts out with a
nice swollen truck, but when the stem reach three to eight
metres, it slims out.
The genera name from Greek
kommi; 'gum' and Greek -phoros; 'carrying' for the
balsam-like scented resin. The species name means 'having kernels'. |
