'''''Dracaena''''' is a genus of about 40 species of [[tree]]s and [[succulent plant|succulent]] [[shrub]]s classified in the family '''[[Ruscaceae]]''' in the [[APG II]] system, or, according to some treatments, separated (with ''Cordyline'') into a family of their own, '''Dracaenaceae''' or in the [[Agavaceae]]. The majority of the species are native in [[Africa]] and nearby islands, with a few in southern [[Asia]] and one in tropical [[Central America]]. The segregate genus ''Pleomele'' is now generally included in ''Dracaena''. The genus ''[[Sanseviera]]'' is closely related, and has recently been synonymized under ''Dracaena'' in the [[Kubitzki system]].
