Dracaena cantleyi
Dracaena cantleyi is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. It is native to wet tropical areas of Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. A small tree reaching 1 to 5 m (3 to 16 ft), it has purplish-green leaves with lighter green mottling. Orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) have been observed masticating its leaves and using the resultant foam as an anti-inflammatory balm.
