Boswellia ameero is a species of flowering plant in the Burseraceae family.[1] It is endemic to the island of Socotra in Yemen, common locally in arid, partly deciduous forests; however, populations are fragmentary, with aged, seldom regenerating trees being dominant. Also, the habitat of B. ameero may be degrading.[2]
Flowers of B. ameero vary; in some populations they are bright pink, in others, pale pink.[2]
Boswellia ameero is sometimes used for its resin.[2]
