This member of the Burseraceae family was given this name by Mats Thulin in 2001. It is found in in several areas in the south eastern half of Socotra, growing in a well drained soil or even on bare rocks with some water and some to lots of sun. The stem can grow to 30 centimetres in diameter, the entire plant to seven metres in height. The flowers are white to cream coloured. The genera name honours the Scottish botanist John Boswell, 1710 - 1780.
