YUCCA 
The Yuccas comprise a rather large 
group of semi-desert plants of the lily 
faniily, several of which are cultivated 
chiefly for their striking flower clusters. 
Most of them are stemless with a basal 
rosette of sword shaped, tough, leathery 
leaves, but few have distinct trunks. 
Flowers are white (rarely purple-tinged), 
waxy, cup-shaped, fragrant at night, and 
home on showy, erect terminal clusters. 
Fruit usually a capsule. Yuccas are more 
frequently used with Spanish architecture, 
in desert gardens, and to produce tropical 
effects.
