It was Schoff that mentions the species. The author himself considers the gum resin to possibly be frankincense but doesn't mentions what specific type it is

He is saying that it's not myrh that they found but frankincense. Altogether very suggestive of frankincense

They have done a chemical analysis to confirm things, so his preliminary examination is correct. And it's the same species mentioned.

I think the linguistic angle really needs to be studied more here.

What is written in the image you posted is ḫbstw ( khbstw خبستو ) ,
not 𓎛 𓃀 𓋴𓅱𓏏 ḥbswt ( xbstw حبستو ) as NidarNidar replied .

Uniliteral sign for " ḫ " in Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs is 𓐍 .
𓐍 is ḫ = kh ( خ ) .

Ancient egyptian 𓐍 𓃀 𓋴 : ḫbstw ( khbstw خبستو ) means :
1- to break up (the soil), especially by ploughing .
2- to break apart, to destroy (enemies or places) .

Ancient egyptian 𓐍𓃀 𓋴 : ḫbstw ( khbstw ) is equal to Somali ( jabi ; jabid, jabso , jebis , jebshe ) .

Somali jebi means : to break, to smash; jebis n : act of breaking .
In my opinion, Ancient Egyptian 𓐍𓃀 𓋴 : ḫbstw ( khbstw خبستو ) is linguistically equivalent to Somali jebsato ( جبستو ), referring to individuals who break up the soil by plowing.

𓎛 𓃀 𓋴𓅱𓏏 ḥbswt ( xbstw حبستو ) as NidarNidar replied means : ​

1- cloth, piece of cloth .
2- wrapping, covering .
3- clothing .

𓎛 𓃀 𓋴𓅱𓏏 ḥbswt ( xbstw حبستو ) is linguistically equivalent to Somali ( la gashato ) and
Semitic labash / labas .

L ↔ ḥ ( ح ) ,
g ↔ b ,
𓎛 𓃀 𓋴𓅱𓏏 ḥbs ( xbs حبس ) is cognate with Arabic لَبَسَ ( labasa : “ to wear ” ) and Central Atlas Tamazight ⵍⵙ (ls, “to put on”) , Aramaic and Hebrew לבש ( labash ) ,
goes back to Proto-Afroasiatic *( l- ) b-s.

g ↔ b ,
Proto-Afroasiatic *( l- ) b-s is linguistically equivalent to Somali ( la gasho ) .

ḥ ( ح ) ↔ L ,
Ancient egyptian 𓎛 𓃀 𓋴 ḥbs ( xbs حبس ) is linguistically equivalent to Arabic لَبَسَ ( labasa : “ to wear ” ) and Aramaic and Hebrew לבש ( labash ) which means to wear , to cloth .
