Dracaena dhofarica

A sansevieria from Dhofar in southern Oman, described as Sansevieria dhofarica in the 2010s. Dhofar is desert-hot but gets a summer monsoon mist (the khareef), so the plant sees drizzle and high humidity in summer and a long dry season otherwise. Moved from Sansevieria into Dracaena in recent classifications; nursery labels often still use the Sansevieria name.

Where it grows wild

Recorded near the Dhofar coast. The species almost certainly grows on rocky limestone ground in the monsoon-influenced scrub of the coastal plain and escarpment; no habitat notes were available to confirm this.

No elevations are recorded; the measured sites are near the coast at about 80–95 m.
