Thulin is a small, deciduous tree in the Burseraceae family, endemic to Socotra Island, Yemen. It belongs to the genus Boswellia — the botanical family responsible for all true frankincense resins. The species was first documented by botanist Isaac Bayley Balfour during his 1880 botanical survey of Socotra Island (published as Botany of Socotra, 1888), and later revised taxonomically by Thulin (2009). Its current accepted name on Kew Science's Plants of the World Online (POWO) database is Boswellia asplenifolia (Balf.f.)
