Surprise! People make mistakes. We purchased seed as Commiphora africana, and we got this coming up. Commiphora angolensis shares its range with A. africana but has substantial differences, among them the leaves. This species has 3-5 leaflets that have weak serration on the margins, eliminating C. mollis and C. africana as its identity. The bark of this unarmed shrub (C. africana is definitely armed) peels yellow, revealing green stem beneath. These plants are seedlings in one-gallon pots.
