Talk:Boswellia

message: I edited out the last sentence of this paragraph from the lead:
There are four main species of Boswellia which produce true frankincense and each type of resin is available in various grades. The grades depend on the time of harvesting, and the resin is hand sorted for quality. Anyone interested in frankincense would be well advised to first obtain a small sample of each type from a reputable dealer in order to ascertain the difference between each resin.
Obvious that it should go but perhaps it can be included back in with different, less "how-to" type wording.04:48, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

It is purportedly by the author, so it may not be a copyright violation, but there are issues of original research, COI, and reliable source. I've posted to the editor's talk page.--Curtis Clark (talk) 13:57, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I received an email from the author clarifying that it is her work and she retains rights to it. I hope I clarified the other issues for her and that she will add a section on cultivation citing the ufl.edu reference.--Curtis Clark (talk) 17:32, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Can someone fix that? They are perfect-flowered, I mean come on, the illustration used on this page even clearly shows both sexes on one flower. They self pollinate as well. Burseraceae are generally dioecious, but not Boswellia. If the footnote ref really says they're dioecious, then the author printed that in error without confirming it themselves.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8801:D107:3C00:B52C:F290:F18C:E39E (talk) 23:51, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

message: What is an ecosystem of great exuberance?  Is that a technical biological term? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 03:44, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: That paragraph was added by a banned user who added a lot of similar material that still needs to be cleaned up. It makes no sense at all to state that this genus requires an ecosystem that is "highly fragile against external aggressions". Sminthopsis84 (talk) 23:58, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
