Dracaena siamica

A Dracaena described by Ridley in 1896 from the Thai–Malay Peninsula. Like other small Dracaena of this region, it is likely a shrub of lowland rainforest understorey. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so this profile relies on the measured climate of the single record in southern Thailand and on the genus.

Where it grows wild

No habitat description was found. Dracaena of Peninsular Thailand and Malaya are mostly shrubs or small treelets in the understorey of lowland evergreen forest, sometimes on limestone, and this profile assumes the same.

The single record is at about 25 m near the Andaman coast of southern Thailand.
