History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
2164. Bursera. So called after Joachim Burser, a disciple and friend of Caspar Bauhin, and profes.sor of 
botany at Sara, in Naples. He is said to have left behind him an Herbarium, in twenty-five volumes. B. 
gummifera is a large tree with a fine leafy head, and abounds in copious watery balsamic fluid, which soon 
becomes inspissated by exposure to the air. The root is said to possess the same properties as Quassia. 
Hedges are made of it by the Spanish residents in South -\merica, who call it Almucigo.'
