Dendragama is a monotypic genus of lizards, containing only the species Dendragama boulengeri, which is commonly called Boulenger's tree agama and is endemic to Sumatra.

Etymology

Both the specific name, boulengeri, and the common name, Boulenger's tree agama, are in honor of Belgian-born British herpetologist George Albert Boulenger.
