I like the smell of dragons blood incense but I don't want to buy it if it's from an endangered species.

Wikipedia is a marginally better source than the seemingly LLM written articles on the topic

It appears that the resin is harvested from a number of different plants, not just d. cinnabari or d draco the threatened ones. If you could see the ingredients of the incence you're getting it may say what species it's from...
Can confirm, wikipedia is right about this one!
Also, not at all surprised to learn that the Romans didn't distinguish the plant resin from the mineral cinnabar because holy shit they just loved willingly consuming poison.
Truly, we are all Romans
