Description

''Dracaena arborescens'' grows long stems over tall, with thick, flat, succulent leaves. Its name refers to the tree-like height of the stems. It very closely resembles the related '' Dracaena bagamoyensis''. However, the leaves of ''D. arborescens'' are wider (over 25 mm) and less brittle.Urs Eggli, Leonard E.
