Dracaena singularis is a species of succulent plant in the genus Dracaena native to Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania.[1] Mistakenly placed in the genus Boophane at first, by the 1980s the plant was corrected to be in the genus Sanseviera,[2] until that entire genus was merged with Dracaena. The species is named singularis since at its mature size, it has only a single leaf up to 1.8 metres (5.9 ft) in length,[3] while in a juvenile state it displays small rosettes of several leaves.[4]
