Dracaena cinnabari
Dracaena cinnabari is one of the most amazing trees on the planet, it is the emblematic tree of Socotra Island off the yemen in the Indian Ocean.
Dracaena cinnabari is also nicknamed the Dragon's Blood Tree because it produces a red resignation called dragon's blood. When the trunk is cut, the resigns and gives the impression that the tree is bleeding.
This resignate has been used as a dye since antiquity and enters the pharmacopoeia of some traditional medicines. It is harvested only once a year, which justifies its high market value.
