As per GRIN as well IPNI, I believe this plant is

*Pleomele fragrans* as synonym of *Dracaena fragrans*.

It is not the colour of flowers to be perceived for comparing my plant and

The difference lies in the arrangement of flowers.
In case of *Dracaena fragrans*, the flowers are in clusters, these clusters
