I have just heard from a friend that, in the upper sources of the Lla.no, 

 the Guadalupe, and in the ♦ . . . forests, he saw a Yucca resp. Agave , in babit 

 almost the same as the common ones, the leaves however at the lower end inwardly as 

 as also the flower-stem a beautiful purple-red color, unfortunately he did not see 

 it in bloom. Also he could not bring a specimen along, hopes however still this year 

 to obtain some. Should it perhaps be Yucca superba ?
