Abstract: About half of the total landmass in Ethiopia is arid to be semiarid [1], with no marginal agricultural potentials. Nevertheless, several indigenous trees and shrubs in these vast arid and semiarid lowlands of the country have been known to yield economically valuable products since several millennia. Ethiopian natural vegetation resources include several species of potential importance. For instance, the Acacia-Commiphera woodlands in the dry lands of the country that are dominated by Acacia, Boswellia, and Commiphera species are well known for their economically valuable products, largely oleo-gum resins such as gum arabic, frankincense, myrrh, and karaya [2-5].
