Abstract

Dracaena fragrans (L.) Ker Gawler is revised, similar species are critically compared and several of them, notably D. deremensis Engl. and D. deisteliana Engl. are reduced into synonymy. A formal classification with standard specimens for cultivated material currently in commerce is proposed.
