This charismatic member of the
Dracaenaceae family was described by Isaac Bayley Balfour in
1882. It is only found on the Yemen island; Socotra. It grows among
rocks and limestone, receiving little water and lots of sun.
Depending on the environment, it will eventually reach three to nine
meters with a stem up to 80 centimetres in diameter. The flowers are
white, and besides from seeds, I guess it will be possible to
make cuttings. |
