This very popular houseplant often goes by the name Corn Plant, or by its official Latin name of Dracaena fragrans (impossible to say without sounding French!), it may also be known as Dracaena massangeana. The genus has several other well-known members that we invite happily into our homes, such as Dracaena marginata and Dracaena sanderiana all of which are reasonably content to share our living or office space without a lot of fuss.
