DRACAENA GLOMERATA AND 

 DRACAENA KINDTIANA 



During the World's Fair at St. Louis 

 in 1904, arrangements were made \\ith 

 l[r. Verner, wlio brought the South 

 African pygmies for exhibition, to col- 

 lect rare plants for the Missouri 

 Botanical Garden. In 1906 a consign- 

 ment of rare plants was received, in- 

 cluding two very rare dracaenas, 

 D. glomerata and D. Kindtiana. at that 

 time the only specimens of these 

 varieties in any botanical collection of 

 the world. Sometime later, however, . 

 the Laurente expedition collected 

 these same varieties. 



Dracae?ia glomerata is the more or- 

 namental of the two, resembling in 

 habit D. Goldieana. although the 

 growth is more vigorous. The leaves 

 are ovate-lanceolate, light green, 

 sparsely mottled with lighter green. 

 The flowers are white. At the St. 

 Louis Spring Flower Show in 1917 the 

 Society of American Florists silver 

 medal was awarded to this new intro- 

 duction. D. Kindtiana grows to a 



Dracaena giomerata 



height of 2-3 feet with 

 acuminate, dark green, 

 leaves, produced in fan 



lanceolate, 



furrowed 



formation. 



Its peculiarity of growth, rather than 

 ornamental value, makes it of particu- 

 lar interest. The abundance of white, 

 strongly scented flowers produces a 

 pleasing effect during certain seasons.
