All of these produce a useful gum or resin, which seems to be about as common as thorny plants.
 
Frankincense is the preeminent source of incense considering that incense is part of the name.  Not only was it one of the gifts from the magi it is used to with
stacte, onycha, and galbanum to make a perfume as specified in Exodus 30:34-36.
 
There are two or three resins that were translated as myrrh most are from
 
Balm
 
Bdellium is a resin that is mentioned in conjunction with Eden and a description for manna
 
Manna has been identified in several ways. 
 
Mastick tree is mentioned in the Apocrypha and it is chewed to freshen breath although I have had gum of this flavor it is not very good in my opinion.  The flavor was familiar, but I have not been able to recall why it seems that way.
 
Teil tree is mentioned in Isaiah 6:13 and is believed to be the oak mentioned in Judges 6:11 since this tree is found singlely providing shade in deserts.  I
t is called turpentine tree in the Apocrypha, but the fragrance is described as similar to jessamine.
