This member of the Burseraceae family was
given this name by Hans Schinz in 1908. It is found in Angola,
Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, growing in a well
drained soil with some water and lots of sun. It starts out with a
nice swollen truck, but when the stem reach three to eight
metres, it slims out.
