Look no further than the Commiphora humbertii, a slow growing caudiciform. The name of the genus comes from the Greek words ”gum” and ”carrying” for the resin’s balsamic-like scent.

Commiphora humbertii is a rare and endangered species of plant that is native to Madagascar. It belongs to the Burseraceae family and is known for its medicinal properties. The plant has been traditionally used to treat various ailments such as fever, inflammation, and respiratory problems. Its resin has also been used as incense and in perfumes. Due to habitat loss and overexploitation, the species is facing a high risk of extinction.
