This member of the
Burseraceae family was given this name by Paul Carpenter Standley in
1929. It is found in central and south-western Mexico, growing in a well drained soil with
some water and lots of sun. I believe it can grow to five metres
with a trunk reaching 30 centimetres in diameter. The small flowers
are pale yellow. The
genera is named after: Joachim Burser, German/Danish botanist,1583-1639.
The species name from Latin: aridus meaning 'dry'. |
