'Salai-Guggul' is obtained from

  • A.Acacia farnesiana
  • B.Bursera del pechiana
  • C.Boswellia serrata
  • D.Cananga odorata

Answer: C

Salai-guggul is obtained from Boswellia serrata.

Boswellia serrata, the salai tree of the dry deciduous forests of Madhya Pradesh, is tapped for an oleo-gum-resin, Indian frankincense or salai guggul, used in medicine and incense; its boswellic acids are valued as anti-inflammatory agents.

Acacia farnesiana yields cassie perfume, Bursera delpechiana yields Indian linaloe oil, and Cananga odorata yields ylang-ylang oil. None gives salai guggul.
