This member of the Burseraceae
family was described by Hermann Heino Heine in 1956. It is found in Namibia, growing in grit or other well drained soil with little
to some
water and lots of sun. The branches can grow to five centimetres in
diameter, and up to 100 centimetres long. The female flowers
are pale orange, the male flowers green.
The genera name from Greek
kommi; 'gum' and Greek -phoros; 'carrying' for the
balsam-like scented resin. The species name after Richard Oswald
Karl Kräusel, 1890-1966, a German paleobotanist. |
