Daemonorops
draco. D. propinquus
Dragon's Blood, Dracorubin
Sanguis Dranconis Family: Palmae
Dragon's Blood, as known in commerce, has several origins, the substance so
named being contributed by widely differing species. Probably the best known
is that from Sumatra. Daemomorops draco formerly known as Calamus draco, was
transferred with many others of the species to Daemomorops, the chief distinguishing
mark being the placing of the flowers along the branches instead of their being
gathered into catkins, as in those remaining under Calamus.
Other sources of Dragons blood include the genuses of Calamus, Croton, Dracaena,
Pterocarpus.
