Tapasji The berries of Bursera linanoe yield an aromatic and volatile oil 'linaloe' which is used in perfumery,cosmetics and incense products.Bursera was grown in Tatguni estates near Bangalore,once owned by Ms.Devika Rani w/o Svetoslav Roerich a Russian painter who had settled in Bangalore.After the couple's demise the Govt.acquired the estate and is being managed by a board. I am given to understand that there are about 10,000 Bursera trees and a linaloe oil extraction plant in the estate.
