Boswellia dioscoridis

One of at least 8 species of Boswellia found only on Socotra, and in bloom. Unfortunately getting up close to their flowers is very hard as they are up high and out on a limb. Thus I have not experienced their scent.

It is distinguished from the other species (bullata and ameero) with grayish or bluish green leaves.

Elevation: 482 meters.

Endemic.
