a very attractive, rare and desirable boswellia species.Boswellia nana is a prostrate or pendent dwarf tree, perhaps the most ornamental of the frankincense genus, with a very unusual, compact, bonsai-like habit, growing up to about 60 cm above the ground level or hanging 60-100 cm down the cliff-face.
S...tems: Short and compact with a bottle-shaped base (caudiciform). In cultivation, especially when grown in the ground, the plant can reach 1 or more metres in height with a thick base hardly resembling the plant in its natural habitat.
Leaves: Typically unifoliolate (one-leafed), with a very small pair of caducous pinnae at the base of the lamina, glossy green above with glabrous undersurface. However in habitat the leaves vary from simple to pinnate with winged rachises. The variations of the forms are attributed to natural hybridization.
Flowers: Showy pink to rosy-red. Ovary three-(or more)-loculed. The flowers of Boswellia nana appear singularly at the end or side of new growth or as a flower stalk with few, complete flowers. This condition is environmental, and the health and condition of the plant in cultivation determines the results.
Fruits: Purplish
