What Wikipedia says

Bdellium (also bdellion or false myrrh) is a semi-transparent oleo-gum resin extracted from Commiphora wightii plants, and from Commiphora africana trees growing in sub-Saharan Africa. According to Pliny the best quality came from Bactria. Other named sources for the resin are Arabia, India, Media, and Babylonia.
