Cordyline
a genus of plants of the family Liliaceae (sometimes classified as a genus of the family Agavaceae). They are trees or shrubs, measuring 2–12 m tall. The leaves are usually ensiform. The small flowers are in apical panicles and have six segments; they are white or lilac. The fruit is a berry. There are approximately 15 species, distributed primarily in tropical Asia, the Malay Archipelago, Polynesia, Australia, and New Zealand. Many species are cultivated as ornamentals, and there are garden varieties with red and spotted leaves. The species Cordyline australis is cultivated on the Black Sea shore. C. stricta and C. terminalis are cultivated for greenhouses and as house plants. The leaves of C. australis, C. indivisa, and other species provide coarse fibers for brushes.
