Dracaena draco, the Canary Islands dragon tree or drago,[4] is a subtropical tree in the genus Dracaena, native to the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Madeira, western Morocco, and possibly introduced into the Azores.[5]
It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1762 as Asparagus draco.[3][6] In 1767 he assigned it to the new genus, Dracaena.[3][7]
