Dracaena fragrans 'Malaika' is a cultivar of Dracaena fragrans (L.) Ker Gawl. It is a slow growing shrub, usually multistemmed at the base. This cultivar is probably one of the most variegated Dracaenas out there - foliage is glossy and lanceolate; deep green only on the margins and lighter-green around the middle of the leaves. The beautiful pale-yellow and white stripes run through the whole length of the leaves.
The species name refers to the fragrant flowers, while the English name derives from a perceived resemblance of the stem to a corn (Zea mays) stalk.
The name dracaena is derived from the romanized form of the Ancient Greek δράκαινα – drakaina, "female dragon".
