Yucca
''Yucca'' ( , YUCK-uh) is both the scientific name and common name for a genus native to North America from Panama to southern Canada. It contains 50 accepted species. In addition to yucca, they are also known as Adam's needle or Spanish-bayonet. The genus is generally classified in the asparagus family in Agavoideae, a subfamily with the ''Agave'', though historically it was part of the lily family. The species range from small shrubby plants to tree-like giants, such as the Joshua tree. All yuccas have Rosette (botany), rosettes of leaves that taper to points and inflorescences with many flowers that are mainly cream white with thick petals. Though adapted to a wide range of climates the plants are xerophytes, ones that specialize in dry living conditions. The tight relationship between the yucca plants and their pollinators, the yucca moths from the genera ''Tegeticula'' and ''Parategeticula'', is a well known example of evolutionary Mutualism (biology), mutualism.

Yucca Baccata
''Yucca baccata'' (datil yucca or banana yucca, also known as Spanish bayonet and broadleaf yucca) is a common species of yucca native to the deserts of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, from southeastern California north to Utah, east to western Texas and south to Sonora and Chihuahua.

Yucca Carnerosana
''Yucca carnerosana'',McKelvey in Yuccas of the S.W. U.S. 1:24 1938 commonly known as the giant Spanish dagger, is a species of North American plant in the asparagus family that grows in arid and desert climate areas. In the United States, it is confined to only a few counties in western Texas, where endemic populations are found in rocky outcrops. The species is, however, widely distributed in northern Mexico (Coahuila, Durango, Zacatecas, Nuevo León). It has a wide range and is abundant, and although it has local threats, its population appears to be stable overall. This yucca is cultivated in a few areas such as the western United States, along the lower Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the United States, in parts of southern Europe, as well as other locations.

''Yucca campestris'', the plains yucca, is a species in the family Asparagaceae, endemic to the " panhandle" region of northwestern Texas. It is considered to be endangered, mainly due to habitat loss. ''Yucca campestris'' is a low-growing species spreading by underground rhizomes and producing large colonies of rosettes. Leaves are long and narrow, up to 65 cm long but rarely more than 15 mm wide. Flowers are white and drooping. Fruit is a dry capsule with glossy black seeds. ''Yucca campestris'' grows in deep sands in very dry regions. It can be grown as an ornamental in desert regions, preferring warm climates and full sunlight. The plant has blue-green leaves and panicles In botany, a panicle is a much-branched inflorescence. (softcover ). Some authors distinguish it from a compound spike inflorescence, by requiring that the flowers (and fruit) be pedicellate (having a single stem per flower).
