Pistacia eurycarpa, commonly as Persian turpentine tree,[2] is a species of Pistacia native to southeastern Turkey, northern Iraq, Iran, Armenia, and Antilebanon.[1] It is called qezwan (قەزوان) or dareben (دارەبەن) in Kurdish. It is morphologically close to Pistacia atlantica subsp. mutica, but differs by having distinctly compressed fruits (width larger than length).[3]
Having a watery flavour, its resin is used as a chewing gum to relieve upper abdominal discomfort, stomach aches, dyspepsia and peptic ulcer.[4]
