Dragon's blood tree - The first description of D. cinnabari was made during a survey of Socotra led by Lieutenant Wellsted of the East India Company in 1835. It was first named Pterocarpus draco, but in 1880, the Scottish botanist Isaac Bayley Balfour made a formal description of the species and renamed it as Dracaena cinnabari.
Tear Dragon's Blood - The Dracaena draco tree is characterised by a single or multiple trunk growing up to 12 metres tall , with a dense umbrella-shaped canopy of thick leaves. It grows slowly, requiring about ten years to reach 1 metre tall. Young trees remain with only a single stem; branching occurs when the tree flowers, when two side shoots at the base of the flower panicle continue the growth as a fork in the stem.
