I am indebted to my friend the Rev. H. N. Ellacombe, of 
Bitton, for this interesting Yucca, which grows freely with me, 
but has not yet flowered at Hillfield. The figure is from a fine 
specimen in the garden of the gentleman above named, who has 
a very rich collection of Yuccas, and a far-famed collection of 
hardy plants. Mr. Ellacombe informs me that this plant was 
obtained by his date father from the Messrs. Loddiges. It first 
received the name Ellacombei from the Messrs. Osborne, to 
whom the plant had been communicated. For treatment see 
observations on culture, &c., Tab. 313.—W. W. 8S.
