1. Ferula assa-foetida L. (Apiaceae) Asafoetida (Wangyal 2020)
2. Biancaea sappan (L.) Tod. (Fabaceae) Sappanwood, Indian Redwood (Sabernig-Parfiniovitch)
3. Biancaea decapetala (Roth) O.Deg. (Fabaceae) Mysore thorn (Sabernig-Gammermann)
Asafoetida opens the resin part in the medicinal tree section, even though it is a herb. Sappanwood is a dyeplant, but does not produce resin. All images show only resin, but not the plant.
