Frankincense
\Frank"in*cense\, n. [OF. franc free, pure + encens
incense.]
A fragrant, aromatic resin, or gum resin, burned as an
incense in religious rites or for medicinal fumigation. The
best kinds now come from East Indian trees, of the genus
Boswellia; a commoner sort, from the Norway spruce (
Abies excelsa
) and other coniferous trees. The frankincense of the
ancient Jews is still unidentified.
