Ooh this is a fruity, herby, resinous, lively tree resin which comes from Boswellia dalzielii in West Africa. It is a frankincense, though scientists don't classify it as a true frankincense, so it has rarely been studied. However, it was studied closely in 2019 when it was observed that the resin was used locally in the same manner as other frankincense resins, that the bark was traded for its range of medicinal uses (treating toothache, healing wounds, calming mental disorders, etc), and the resin contained similar, and at times greater, fragrant properties than other frankincense resins. So it appears that the resin from Boswellia dalzielii is not a frankincense resin in the same way that almonds are not nuts, and strawberries are not berries: ie, it doesn't fucking matter, it's just a linguistic quirk. Go fill your boots, this is good stuff.
Available (bark and resin) on Etsy from the useful Jarguna, who also sells halmaddi.
