This member of the Burseraceae
family was given this name by Townshend Stith Brandegee in 1891. It
is found on Baja California, and in southern Mexico, growing in a
well drained soil with some water and lots of sun. The stems only
grow to fifteen centimetres - a bit slim for a true caudiciform -
and the bush will eventually reach three and a half or even five
meters height. The small flowers
are greenish yellow or crème coloured. Named after: Joachim Burser, German/Danish botanist
(1583-1639). The species name after Richard Brinsley Hinds, a
British naturalist. |
