Dracaena ajgal

Dracaena ajgal is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. It is a tree native to southwestern Morocco. It grows on steep rocky slopes of quarzitic and hard ultramafic rock in the western Anti-Atlas range at approximately 700 metres elevation, in the transition between semi-arid Argania–Olea europaea subsp. maroccana and Mediterranean-climate Quercus rotundifolia–Genista segonnei plant communities. The species was formerly considered a population of Dracaena draco (dragon's blood tree), which is also native to the Canary Islands. In 1997 it was recognized as a distinct subspecies, and in 2020 Rivas-Martínez et al. identified the Moroccan population as a distinct species.
