Dracaena cinnabari is a Dragon Tree native to the Socotra archipelago. It is also referred to as the Dragon Blood Tree and Socotra Dragon Tree. It is so called due to the red sap that the trees produce.[2] It was first formally described by Isaac Bayley Balfour in 1882.[3] A miniature Icon of this tree is in Windows as Network-Icon.
