Try out the red Ink.
Day 18
The Dracaena cinnabari, also called dragon blood tree, has adapted to arid climates and mountaintops with little soil. Originating from Yemen Soqotra archipelago, the large, packed crown provides shade and reduces evaporation and the the leaves are scleromorphic as a specialised feature to prevent excessive loss of water.
Atmospheric moisture condenses on the leaves, channelling the water down the trunk to the roots. The shade reduces the evaporation of any water drops that fall to the ground, and also allows seedlings to survive better beneath the adult tree, which could be why many dragon’s blood trees grow close together.
The general distribution of Dracaena on Soqotra reflects the size of areas that are affected by the monsoon mists and drizzle.
It is called the dragon blood tree due to the red sap that the trees produce.
