I can't figure this out. It blooms November-December. The flowers are very fragrant. The long, leaves are slightly ribbed. Thank you.

Is that the foliage of the plant in your picture? If so, then I think your plant may be Dracaena thalioides (sp?).

Ispahan has the right species, its' modern name is Dracaena aubryana, Lance Dracaena.

It has been so many years since I have grown this plant, I did not even know that they updated the name! :-) Thank you, Metrosideros, for supplying the correct name.

I cannot find the name in PF is it something else or the name is not right? If not you have a plant files entry to do.

I don't know enough about house plants to agree or disagree with the identification of your plant as a dracaena, but the blooms and your description of the fragrance seem very much like my sansevieria, which is blooming now. I have just posted about that in this forum.
