Bdellium/ˈdɛliəm/ (also bdellion or false myrrh[1]) is a semi-transparent oleo-gum resin extracted from Commiphora wightii plants of India, and from Commiphora africana trees growing in sub-saharan Africa.[citation needed] According to Pliny the best quality came from Bactria. Other named sources for the resin are India, Arabia, Media, and Babylon.[2]
