The Dracaena steudneri, also called the Muthare in the Kikuyu language, is found across eastern and southern Africa in moist or dry forests—in Kenya, it is found mainly in moist highland forests, along river banks or in gallery forests. With steeply-rising branches and a height of up to 15 metres, this tree has been used for poles, medicine, bee forage, shade, decoration, and ceremonies.

Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.
