Commiphora habessinica, sometimes known as Abyssinian myrrh, is a species of flowering plant in the Burseraceae native to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.^[2] It was first described by Otto Karl Berg in 1862 as Balsamodendrum habessinicum from northeast Africa.^[3] It was then transferred to the genus Commiphora by Adolf Engler in 1883, but given the name Commiphora abyssinica, an orthographical variant.^[2][4]
