Indigenous to the sub-Saharan, Bdellium grows best in red or sandy clay and rocky ground. It has a massive underground root system that searches for water to sustain it. It leafs at the beginning of the wet season and, in dry seasons can produce two crops of leaves.
Growing from 16-33 feet tall, the Bdellium has a short trunk with gray-green bark. The bark is pleasantly scented and exudes a clear gum of resin, which is similar to myrrh but lacks the monetary value. It produces flowers and fruit, though not necessarily every year.
Nomadic groups use the Bdellium for several purposes. The roots of young plants have a sweet taste and are chewed. Timber is used for stools, milk containers, spoons and, occasionally, for building houses. The bark is brewed for tea, and the soft “gum” is eaten while the hard “gum” is used to make arrows.
