Message: [QUOTE="Marck, post: 225239, member: 15114"] The taxonomy of [I]Dracaena draco [/I]sometime recognizes three subspecies: [I]D. draco[/I] ssp. [I]draco[/I] occurs natively on two of the Canary Islands, La Palama and Tenerife, and possibly Madeira, though its nativity there is more questionable. [I]D. draco[/I] ssp. [I]ajgal[/I] is the form found in southwestern Morocco. [I]D. draco[/I] ssp. [I]caboverdeana[/I] is another taxon not mentioned in the previous post. It occurs natively on three of the ten Cape Verde Islands, namely, Fogo, Santo Antão, and São Nicolau. Of special note is the presence of a second species of [I]Dracaena[/I] native to the Canary Islands. [I]Dracaena tamaranae,[/I] endemic to the Island of Gran Canaria was formerly considered another form of [I]Dracaena draco[/I], but was described as a separate species in 1998. [/QUOTE]
