Thanks Dave, 'Janet Craig' certainly looks just like ours.

It is the 'Compacta" form of Dracaena fragrans, rather than deremensis. It was a sport from "Janet Craig'.

iochroma: The definitive guide!

D. deremensis is a synonym of D. fragrans. Agree with 'JCC'.

No, all the recent molecular genetic work shows some distance between D fragrans and deremensis. Their flowers are quite distinct as well.

Regardless of species, culture would be pretty much the same.

I would like to read/see some of this info, iochroma.

Tiffany, the clearest is: Lu, Morden 2010 (especially see fig. 1)

In researching the above, I found an item of interest in Damen, et al 2018 that Dracaena sanderiana (Sander ex Mast) is reinstated, and is distinct from braunii. Apparently the plant in wide cultivation is sanderiana.

TY for pasting the link! My browser is not cooperating and bringing up the page, but I appreciate your efforts!

In your last comment, is the difference between D. braunii and sanderiana the plain green vs. the variegated?

I would love to see pic(s) of both species side-by-side.

Damen et al say braunii is quite distinct. Flowers are 5 times the size of braunii. The first appearance of sanderiana was a variegated form, but obviously, the wild type is all green.
