The part used: Stems, Leaves, and Powder of Stems ‎‎‎
Basham or elderberry is an incense plant species that produces a balm.‎‎‎ The Basham is a shrub that grows in the mountainous regions on the slopes and in the valleys coinciding with the rain in Oman, but it loses its leaves.‎‎‎ On the stem there is a thin crust that gives a fragrant scent when rubbing it, rubbing its leaves or taking a branch from it. So, the branches of the basham bush are used as a fragrant toothpick that scents the mouth, and they are used with henna for blackening.
