 General
-
Frankincense a small tree or shrub with abundant pinnate leaves and
white or pale pink flowers. It yields a natural oleo gum resin.
Essential oil is extracted by steam distillation or CO2 from selected
oleo gum resin. The trees on the Somali coast grow, without soil, out of
polished marble rocks, to which they are attached by a thick oval mass
of substances resembling a mixture of lime and mortar. The young trees
furnish the most valuable gum, the older yielding merely a clear,
glutinous fluid, resembling coral varnish. To obtain the Frankincense, a
deep, longitudinal incision is made in the trunk of the tree and below
it a narrow strip of bark 5 inches in length is peeled off. When the
milk-like juice which exudes has hardened by exposure to the air, the
incision is deepened. In about three months the resin has attained the
required degree of consistency, hardening into yellowish 'tears.' The
large, clear globules are scraped off into baskets and the inferior
quality that has run down the tree is collected separately. The season
for gathering lasts from May till the middle of September, when the
first shower of rain puts a close to the gathering for that year.
