I found that interesting, because I was reading a recent National Geographic (June 2012) article on Socotra which reports:
It does go on to point out that the upturned branches of the tree edxist to gather moisture from mist in the air, and that climate change may be responsible for the lack of reproduction of the plant.
Anyways, obviously the casual observations of a NG reporter don't count for much, but maybe they line "the trees tend to grow closer together" should be subject to further examination based on that. For now, I'm just adding a "citation needed" tag to the biology section. The2crowrox ( talk) 16:46, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm wondering why there isn't a picture here that shows the tree "bleeding" its red sap, since that is its most distinctive physical trait - as evidenced by the common name for the tree and by the fact that the sap is mentioned in the first couple lines of this very article. Surely there is a public domain photo that we can use to show what the sap looks like as it is seeping from the tree trunk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.100.197.179 ( talk) 07:26, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Ditto. I'd also like to know who named it dragon's blood and when. In Arrian and Pliny it's called Indian Cinnabar (vegetable as opposed to mineral cinnabar) Fuficius Fango ( talk) 17:49, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
An IP editor left a note in the text saying that File:Dracaena_cinnabari_-_Koko_Crater_Botanical_Garden_-_IMG_2295.JPG is not this species. Peter coxhead ( talk) 08:35, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi there - since asked, let me say that I took this photo myself in the Koko Crater, and identified the plant according to its label there. Just speaking for myself, I would guess that the Koko Crater botanists knew what they were doing. cheers, Daderot ( talk) 00:39, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Can someone who knows about this topic please go through this article and remove the subjective language like "most beautiful."
