Commiphora madagascariensis, also known as Madagascar corkwood, is a flowering plant found in Tanzania and introduced to India. It is a slender shrub or tree that can grow up to 15 meters tall and is typically found in thickets and semi-evergreen dry forests. The bark is smooth and branches may be spiny. The leaves are either single or in groups of three, with small lateral leaflets. The plant produces small, tubular flowers before or with the young leaves. The fruit is ellipsoid and hairless. Due to threats such as urbanization, increasing human population, and planned hydropower schemes, the species has been listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.
