Full Definition
لُبَانٌ
[The frankincense-tree] is a tree of the kind called
عِضَاه, having a fruit resembling the pistachio-nut, and a resin like the
كُنْدُر, [which is said in the S and TA to be the same as the لُبَان,] when it concretes: (O and TA in art. سيع:) it is also, and more commonly, applied to the resin itself, i. e. frankincense, or olibanum: the tree that produces it is now known to be of the genus Boswellia, found in Hadramowt and other parts of Southern Arabia, and also in the opposite region of Africa, and in India: it was formerly erroneously supposed to be the Juniperus Lycia.
