This member of the Burseraceae
family was described by Isaac Bayley Balfour in 1882. It is found on
Socotra, growing on hill sides in grit with little to some water and
lots of sun. It can grow to five meters with a trunk of 30
centimetres, and the flowers are greenish.
The genera name honours the
Scottish botanist John Boswell, 1710 - 1780. The species name means
'lengthened, drawn out, extended', for the leaves.
