Commiphora obicularis is a small, deciduous tree native to Madagascar, belonging to the Burseraceae family. It is characterized by its smooth, peeling bark, which reveals a striking greenish inner layer. The plant has small, pinnate leaves and produces tiny, inconspicuous flowers. Adapted to arid environments, Commiphora obicularis stores water in its thick trunk and branches. It thrives in well-draining soil and full sunlight, making it a resilient species in dry, rocky habitats. Its distinctive bark and form make it a unique addition to xeriscapes and botanical collections.
