Don't we just say "Kumari" instead of "Kumarian" in English?

Actually, having done some searching on the internet, and having read what Elmota wrote, and knowing that the Arabic reads "Kumari wood", I think the translation should be "Kumari wood" - look at this photo's caption.

well now that u finally found Kumari it is Kumari, but basically i had no idea what the name was in English, as for incense, it is the wood in the picture u sent, but the arabic phrase is indeed incense, unfrotunately the comment below it is a bit misleading

Does it have to mean incense, or can it also simply mean the wood?

Hmm...
You know, there's a "Kumari incense" on this page. I wonder if "Kumari" might be a fragrance, used to describe the smell of the incense like "sandalwood incense" or "rose incense"?
Hope I'm not just getting in the way!

well all the reference pages that i ran across talking about "el ood el kumari" are definitely about incense, and i got this feeling the thing is very popular in some places so there was no question about it, the word ood however meen "stick"

I've changed it to Kumari and put a comment underneath it.
