110 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. 
cave, shagreen-roughened, narrowly brown-bordered, coarsely filiferous. 
Flowers very large for the genus, oblong-campanulate, the lanceolate 
segments about 75 mm. long: style slender, elongated, gradually taper- 
ing; stigmatic lobes short. Fruit very large (as much as 200 mm. long), 
mostly conical-ovoid, with adnate calyx-disk and filament bases: seeds 
7X 9 to 10 mm. — Plates 68-69. 85, f. 4.

This, the first discovered of the western fleshy-fruited 
Yuccas, differs from the species which have been confounded 
with it in its prostrate caudex, the crowns of which rarely 
rise much above the earth, its very large pendent flowers, 
and its decidedly conical large fruit with the base of the 
perianth adnate as a conspicuous disk, and the bases of the 
filaments forming fleshy papillae, as in Y. alotfolia. A 
note by Dr. Palmer* on the uses made of Y. baccata by 
the Indians, and many of the published references under 
this name, may refer to the next species, while the Yucca 
baccata of the Pacific coast is what is here called Y. 
Mohavensis.

Arborescent, subsimple, becoming 3 to 5m. high. Leaves yellowish- 
green, .5 to 1 m. long, 40 to 50mm. wide, usually rough, concave, coarsely 
filiferous. Panicle glabrous or occasionally pubescent, the bracts at first 
often brownish. Flowers mostly more globose and smaller (the perianth 
segments usually about 40 mm. long). Fruit oblong, not usually as 
large as in Y. baccata: seeds 5 to 6 6 to 8 mm. — Plates 70. 71. 85,
