Boswellia carterii / Boswellia serrata
The frankincense tree, botanically known as "Boswellia serrata," originates from India and belongs to the balsam family (Burseraceae). The frankincense tree grows in hot, dry desert regions. To extract the resin, the tree bark is scratched to allow the resin to escape. The frankincense oil is then extracted by steam distillation of the resin.
