Dracaena draco

Dracaena draco, the Canary Islands dragon tree or drago,[4] is a subtropical tree in the genus Dracaena, native to the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Madeira, western Morocco, and possibly introduced into the Azores.

[8] The "dragon tree" is a Monocot, with a branching growth pattern currently placed in the asparagus family (Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoidae).

The form found on Gran Canaria is now treated as a separate species, Dracaena tamaranae, based on differences in flower structure.

[16][17] Dracaena draco is native to Macaronesia and southwest Morocco, where it is commonly cultivated as an ornamental plant.

[5][18] When the bark or leaves are cut they secrete a reddish resin, one of several sources of substances known as dragon's blood.

[23] Dracaena draco is cultivated and widely available as an ornamental tree for parks, gardens, and drought tolerant water conserving sustainable landscape projects.

[26][27] The Museum of Wine on Pico Island, Azores, has one of the largest concentrations of this species in Macaronesia, some being more than 100 years old.
