Name
Dracaena L., Syst. Nat. ed. 12, 2: 229, 246 (1767). Often cited with the authorship "Vand. ex L." but Vandelli called the Dragontree Draco and put Dracaena in synonymy (Tropicos, 2015)
- Lectotype species: Dracaena draco (L.) L. (designated by Rafinesque, Fl. Tell. 4: 17 (1838) ('1836'))
Synonyms
- Homotypic
- Heterotypic
- Oedera Crantz, Duab. Drac. Arbor., 30. (1768)
- Type species: Oedera dragonalis Crantz
- Stoerkia Crantz, Duab. Drac. Arbor. 25. (1768)
- Type species: Stoerkia draco (L.) Crantz
- Terminalis Medik., Theodora: 83. (1786)
- Type species: Terminalis angustifolia Medik.
- Pleomele Salisb., Prodr. Stirp. Chap. Allerton, 245. (1796)
- Type species: Pleomele fragrans (L.) Salisb.
- Nemampsis Raf., Fl. Tellur. 4: 16. (1838)
- Type species: Nemampsis ternifolia Raf.
- Ezehlsia Lour. ex B.A.Gomes, Mem. Acad. Real Sci. Lisboa, 2 Cl. Sci. Moraes, n.s., 4(1): 29. (1868)
- Type species: Ezehlsia palma Lour. ex Gomes
- Stoerkea Baker, J. Linn. Soc. Bot. 14: 523. (1875), isonym
- Chrysodracon P.L.Lu & Morden, Syst. Bot. 39: 101 (2014)
- Oedera Crantz, Duab. Drac. Arbor., 30. (1768)
Note: The proposed segregation of the Pleomele from Hawaii, as Chrysodracon (Lu & Morden, 2014) is not accepted by Govaerts et al. (2018) and so the above circumscription is a taxonomic opinion of Draceana s.l. excluding Sansevieria on morphological grounds until consensus is reached here and in the wider botanic community.
