Dracaena singularis explained

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 1.8m (05.9feet) in length,^[3] while in a juvenile state it displays small rosettes of several leaves.^[4]
