Dracaena ellenbeckiana is a species of plant belonging to the Asparagaceae family, subfamily Nolinoideae.[2] Dracaena ellenbeckiana is native to Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, and Uganda, and primarily grows in the seasonally dry tropical biome.[3]
Taxonomy and morphology
Dracaena ellenbeckiana was first described by Engl. in 1902. The species is a shrub or tree, growing 2-8 meters high, with erect stems that are often several from a common base, less often solitary, and little-branched.[4] The stems can be up to 8 cm (3.1 in) in diameter and are longitudinally fissured.[4] The leaves of Dracaena species are isobilateral and amphistomatic, with anomocytic and tetracytic stomata.[2] The plants are either xeromorphic or mesomorphic[2] and their leaves can grow up to 22–65cm long, 1–9cm wide.[4]
Habitat and ecology
Dracaena ellenbeckiana is adapted to the seasonally dry tropical biome, which is characterized by alternating wet and dry seasons.[3] This habitat has shaped the species' ability to tolerate drought, making it an excellent candidate for cultivation in subtropical climates and as a houseplant.[5] The species is found in countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, and Uganda.[3]
