Dracaena yuccifolia

A little-known Dracaena of southern Thailand and the Malay Peninsula, described by Ridley in 1896. Only two wild records exist, so its needs are inferred from the measured monsoon climate and from related Southeast Asian dracaenas.

Where it grows wild

No habitat details are available beyond its range. Related Southeast Asian dracaenas grow in forest and on rocky, often limestone, hills, which may apply here too.

No elevations recorded; the measured site is at about 120 m.
