What is Dracaena surculosa

Birth flowers for Dec 1

Dracaena surculosa (scientific name: Dracaena surculosa) is a nonchill-resistant evergreen shrub native to Guinea and belonging to the genus Dracaena of the Asparagaceae family. It is sometimes called Dracaena godseffiana (its former scientific name), godseffiana, or seffiana. The foliage is appreciated as an ornamental plant. The flowers are small and unassuming, so the flowers themselves do not attract much attention. The leaves are characterized by numerous yellow spots on a green background. The yellow spots change to white spots as they age.

Differences between Dracaena sulcrosa and Sulphurea marginalis

Although it is similar to the mottled blue-green Sulphrea Marginata (Aoki Sulphrea Marginata), the leaves of Aoki have an inverted ovate-oval shape, with thick, stiff leaflets and coarse serrations on the leaf margins. On the other hand, the leaves of Godsephiana are pointedly ovate, with thin, soft leaflets and full leaf margins. It produces many small, elongated, tubular white flowers in an inflorescence. The corolla is 5 lobed at the tip.
