Dracaena aethiopica is a species of succulent plant widely distributed in Southern Africa.[1][2] Its binomial name—aethiopica—refers to its origins in Africa.[2] A highly variable species, it grows in desert or dry shrubland (like many in its genus) and spreads rhizomatically.[3] The leaves grow in rosettes and may be up to 70 centimetres (2.3 ft) tall.[4] Genetically, this species is most closely related to Dracaena ballyi.[5] In Africa, this species has been used to augment poisons for hunting and fishing purposes.[4][6]
