Agavaceae, not Asparagaceae?

According to all other sources I’ve seen (including the ones linked in the references here) Dracaena should be in the Agavaceae family. 2600:8801:C409:DB00:8905:11EE:41A:7ACC (talk) 14:37, 12 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Go to Dracaena and find the taxonbar near the bottom of the article. Follow links to different taxonomic databases. You'll find that PoWO, GRIN, GBIF, APNI, etc. all place the genus in Asparagaceae. That's because they follow the APG IV system as we here do. Some sources do not, as the introduction to Dracaena says. We don't repeat the alternative views of the placement of the genus in every species article. Peter coxhead (talk) 15:13, 12 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
