Samples of the liquid resin obtained spontaneously on cutting the woudy parts of Commiphora terbinthina Vollesen and Commiphora Cyclophylla Chiov. Have been examined. Both have been found to consist primarily of monoterpene hydrocarbons with limonene as the major component; the resin from C. terbinthina was richer in sesquiterpenes.
