Bursera

Its name comes from the botanist Joachim Burser, born in Germany and lived in Denmark between 1583 and 1639. Plants of the genus “Bursera” are adapted to tropical climates and temperate forests. They are deciduous bushes or tiny trees of various dimensions: they can reach an height of 25 meters! An important and particular plant of this genus developed a big caudex (caudex means a swollen part of the trunk) which make it able to survive to long periods of drought.
