FRANKINCENSE, Boswellia serrata

Frankincense originates from a small tree, indigenous to the Middle East, with abundant pinnacle leaves and white or pale pink flowers. The resin starts out as a milky-white, sticky, fragrant liquid that flows from the tree trunk when cut. The dried tears are collected and then the resin is distilled, producing the oil.

The resin is known as olibanum, derived from the Arabic al-luban or 'what results from milking', referring to the milky sap.
