THESE THREE ARTICLES ARE UNFINISHED
I have been distracted by a large project that I put aside in 2014 and am working on that for the next few months. Hopefully, I will return to the Dragon's Blood series, tidy these three up and complete the ones about the famous Dragon's Blood trees.
This is the next article in my series on dragon's blood and other bloodwoods. The first article was a hotchpotch of the
more obscure varieties from various unusual plant families. Because there was less information it was easier to finish than the last ones will be. There will be three articles on the bloody bean trees, on those from Asia, Africa and the Americas.
Future articles will cover the dragon's blood from
Croton, Daemonorops and
Dracaena. The article on
Croton is going to be a list of the various plants with a few details on each, not exhaustive monographs on each plant. The articles on
Daemonorops and
Dracaena will be more in-depth, as there is a lot of information on those rattans and trees.
