The bright green straplike leaves are soft, up to 35 cm long and 2.5 cm wide, and are borne along the length of the stems, rather than the tufted habit typical of Dracaena. While capable of attaining an arborescent form up to 18 m, in drier or more open areas D. americana is more typically a prostrate understory shrub.
Dracaena surculosa, called the gold dust dracaena and spotted dracaena, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to west and west-central tropical Africa, from Guinea to the Republic of the Congo.

Dracaena ellenbeckiana was first described by Engl. in 1902. The species is a shrub or tree, growing 2-8 meters high, with erect stems that are often several from a common base, less often solitary, and little-branched. [5] The stems can be up to 8 cm (3.1 in) in diameter and are longitudinally fissured. [5]
Dracaena fragrans is a slow growing shrub, usually multistemmed at the base, mature specimens reaching 15 m (49 ft) or more tall with a narrow crown of usually slender erect branches. Stems may reach up to 30 cm (12 in) diameter on old plants; in forest habitats they may become horizontal with erect side branches.
Dracaena zeylanica is a leafier plant (10-16 leaves per rosette, versus generally 2–4 in Dracaena trifasciata), and its leaves lack a petiole, instead becoming only slightly narrower at the base. In D. trifasciata, leaves become narrower and thickened towards the bottom, forming a concave channel at the base of the leaves. [2]
