Dracaena arborea, the tree dracaena, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to western and west-central wet tropical Africa.[1] It is used as a street tree in a number of African and Brazilian cities.[2]

Description

A medium sized tree often reaching 20 m (66 ft) in height, sometimes up to 30 m (98 ft), with width up to 30 cm (12 in) in diameter. The stem tend to be yellowish brown when young but greyish when mature.[3] Leaves commonly exceed 40 cm (16 in) in length, sometimes reaching up to 150 cm (59 in), and width often exceeds 4 cm (1.6 in) reaching up to 10 cm (4 in) in width; leaves are narrowly oblanceolate in outline.[3] Inflorescence arranged in pendulous panicles, flowers bunched in groups of 3 to 5 and at the end of branches.[3]

Uses

Draceena arborea is often planted around burial sites to demarcate boundaries in parts of Cameroon and Burundi and is also planted for ornamental uses.[3] In parts of Cameroon, a decoction composed of root extracts mixed with palm wine is sold to people who are told that it will improve male sexual function.[4]
