This member of the Burseraceae family was given this name by Hans Schinz in 1908. It is found in southern Africa, growing in a well drained soil with some water and lots of sun. It starts out with a nice swollen truck, but when the stem reach three to eight metres, it slims out.
The genera name from Greek kommi; 'gum' and Greek - phoros; 'carrying' for the balsam-like scented resin. The species name means 'having kernels'. The fruits by Sheila Gregory, Powo.science.kew.org.
