Dragon blood, Dracaena cambodiana, Critically Endangered, Assam, NE IndiaResumen
Se reporta aquí Dracaena cambodiana Pierre ex Gagnep., una especie de árbol del dragón, por primera vez para la India. Se examinan y se discuten sus relaciones taxonómicas con otras especies semejantes del género Dracaena Vand. ex L.. Se aporta una descripción taxonómica detallada, junto con fotografías en color para facilitar su futura identificación. Los muestreos recientes confirman que el hábitat y población regional de la planta están en seria amenaza. Por ello, siguiendo las categoría y criterios de IUCN para la Lista Roja, se categoriza regionalmente como Críticamente Amenazada.
