Bursera, named after the Danish botanist Joachim Burser (1583-1639) is a genus with about 100 described species[1] of flowering shrubs and trees varying in size upwards to 25 m. high. They are native (often for many species endemic) to the Americas, from the southern United States south through to northern Argentina, in tropical and warm temperate forests habitats.

A number of species from tropical Asia were once included in this genus, but are now treated in the genus Protium


Read about Bursera in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Bursera (Joachim Burser, a disciple of Caspar Bauhin). Burserficeae. Usually tall trees, with simple or pinnately compound Lvs.: fls. small, in clusters, 4-5-parted, with twice as many stamens as petals or sepals, and a 3-parted ovary containing 6 ovules: fr. a 3-parted drupe with usually only 1 seed.—About 40 species of trees in Trop. Amer. For B. serrata, see Protium.
