From phyto- systimatic point of veiw, the fact that occurence of glycosides of diosenin (7 ) in Dracaenaceac, will be a support for that Dracaenaceae belong to Order Asparagales of superorder Lilliflorae, and most related to Agavaceae and Asparagaceae, and also relatcd to Funkiaceae, Smilacaceae and Order Diosco- reaccae.
