Myrrh from Yemen (Commiphora myrrha)

Scientific name: Commiphora myrrha
Family: Burseraceae
Common names: Myrrh

Origin of harvest: Yemen

Although it is the usual Myrrh this gem comes from Yemen, unfortunately a country tormented by war, so this is a difficult product to obtain and is in support of the populations who collect this resin.

Field photos are a species classification excursion along the Yemen-Oman border.

If you want to try, ask for a sample, I’m happy to send, just buying something.
