ON THIS PLANT
Dracaena tamaranae, or drago de Gran Canaria, is a species of endemic plants of the island of Gran Canaria, related to the dragon tree, Dracaena draco, and other species of Dracaena from East Africa. Since 1972, specimens of dragon tree have been identified in Gran Canaria with certain peculiarities. These were initially identified as specimens of Dracaena draco. However, a more detailed study and its cultivation allowed us to recognize that it was a different species. It was first described in 1998 by F. Marrero, A. Almeida, RS & Gonzalez-Martín.
