The Dragon Tree (Dracaena Cinnabari) is a strange-looking, umbrella-shaped tree native to the Socotra archipelago. It is also referred to as the Dragon Blood Tree and Socotra Dragon Tree. Its red sap was the dragon's blood of the ancients, sought after as a medicine and a dye. It was first formally described by Isaac Bayley Balfour in 1882.
