Summary The pollen of Bursera tecomaca (DC.) Standl. and of B. sarcopoda P. G. Wilson notably differs from that of remaining species of Bursera , but shows a striking similarity to the pollen of the akin genus Commiphora , mainly distributed in Africa. Additional morphological characters of these two species suggest also their better placement in Commiphora and therefore the formal transfer is proposed.
