Boswellia ameero is a tree endemic to Socotra, Yemen, growing in arid, partly deciduous forest. It is grown for its aromatic resin, but is hard to cultivate outside its native dry tropical climate.
Boswellia ameero is a species of flowering plant in the Burseraceae family. 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.
The flowers of B. ameero vary; in some populations they are bright pink, in others, pale pink. Boswellia ameero is sometimes used for its resin.
