Yucca gloriosa COMMON NAME Spanish dagger, palm lily, mound-lily yucca FAMILY Agavaceae AUTHORITY L. FLORA CATEGORY Vascular – Exotic STRUCTURAL CLASS Herbs - Monocots HABITAT Occur naturally on coastal dunes and shell mounds near the Atlantic, from North Carolina to north-east Florida. FEATURES An erect evergreen shrub with swordlike leaves about 5 cm wide and 0.6-0.9 m long originating from a basal rosette. The leaves are bluish or grayish green with smooth margins and pointed tips. They tend to bend near the middle and arch downward. In summer mound-lily yucca puts up a showy 6-8 ft (1.8-2.4 m) spike of fragrant flowers that are white with purplish tinges, pendant and about 7.6 cm across. Mound-lily yucca stays in a stemless rounded clump 2-5 ft (0.6-1.5 m) across and about the same height for several years, but eventually develops a trunk or stem which elevates that clump of leaves above the ground as much as 1.8-2.4 m. In older plants the stem develops branches and each terminus has its own Yucca gloriosa. Photographer: John Smith- rosette of leaves.

Yucca Gloriosa
Yucca gloriosa Yucca gloriosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to the beach scrub and sandy lowlands of the southeastern United States, from the Outer Banksof Virginia and North Carolina to Florida and the coastal bend of Texas. It is also widely cultivated as an ornamental and reportedly has become established in the wild in Italy, Turkey, Mauritius, Réunion, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. Common names include:- Adam's needle Moundlily Yucca Soft-tipped Yucca Glorious Yucca Palm Lily Spanish Bayonet Lord's candlestick Roman Candle Spanish-dagger Mound Lily Sea Islands Yucca Tree Lily Description Yucca gloriosa is an evergreen shrub. The plant is known to grow to heights above 5 m (16 feet). It is caulescent, usually with several stems arising from the base, the base thickening in adult specimens. The long narrow leaves are straight and very stiff, growing to 30–50 cm (12–20 in) long and 2-3.5 cm wide. They are dark green with entire margins, smooth, rarely finely denticulate, acuminate, with a sharp brown terminal spine. Inflorescence is a panicle up to 2.5 m (8 ft) long, of bell-shaped white flowers, sometimes tinged purple or red. Fruit is a leathery, elongate berry up to 8 cm long. Habitat Yucca gloriosa grows on sand dunes along the coast and barrier islands of the subtropical southeastern USA, often together with Yucca aloifolia and a variety formerly called Yucca recurvifolia or Y. gloriosa var. recurvifolia, now Y. gloriosa var. tristis. In contrast to Y.

Ecology and Evolution of Southeastern United States Yucca Species
ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION OF SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES YUCCA SPECIES by JEREMY DANIEL RENTSCH (Under the Direction of JIM LEEBENS-MACK) ABSTRACT The genus Yucca contains approximately 40 species with most diversity found in Mexico and the southwestern United States. The southeastern United States is home to three well- described yucca species: the fleshy-fruited Y. aloifolia, the capsular-fruited Y. filamentosa, and Y. gloriosa – with a fruit type that does not follow convention. Yucca species are perhaps best known for the obligate pollination mutualism they share with moths in the genera Tegeticula and Parategeticula. Such interactions are thought to be highly specialized, restricting gene flow between species and even make evolutionary reversions to generalist life history characterizes impossible. Here, we show that Y. gloriosa is an intersectional, homploid, hybrid species produced by the crossing of Y. aloifolia and Y. filamentosa. We go on to show that Y. aloifolia has escaped from the obligate pollination mutualism and is being pollinated diurnally by the introduced European honey bee, Apis mellifera – an observation that directly refutes the idea that highly specialized species interactions lead to evolutionary dead ends. Finally, we utilized high throughput sequencing a biotinylated probe set in order to sequence many genes of interest in Y. aloifolia, laying the ground work to better understand its introduction history and pattern of pollinator association.

As such, plants and use categories listed herein are not exhaustive, nor do they constitute automatic approval; all proposed plant material is subject to review by the County. In some cases where a broad genus or species is called out within the list, there may be multiple species or cultivars that may (or may not) be appropriate. The specific water needs and sizes of cultivars should be verified by the designer. Site specific conditions should be taken into consideration in determining appropriate plant material. This includes, but is not limited to, verifying soil conditions affecting erosion, site specific and Fire Department requirements or restrictions affecting plans for fuel modifications zones, and site specific conditions near MSHCP areas.

Cold Hardy Landscape Cacti & Succulents for Central Texas Jeff
Cold Hardy Landscape Cacti & Succulents for Central Texas Jeff Pavlat 3/11 The following is a list of recommended landscape plants for Central Texas. Keep in mind that there is a great deal of temperature variation across the region. Temperatures in outlying areas are in some cases 10 to 15 degrees colder than those in town. The cold tolerances listed are approximate. It is important to recognize that there are a number of factors which determine hardiness. Plants placed on south facing slopes receive more solar heat and tend to have a better chance of being undamaged. Plants also fair better with some overhead protection from a tree or shrub. It also helps for them to be placed where they will not receive direct north wind. Generally, low-growing plants receive more ground heat than taller plants and are less likely to freeze. The state of the plant as it enters freezing temperatures is an important factor as well. For instance, many cacti and succulents will endure considerably colder temperatures when dry rather than wet (In fact, cold and wet is often a lethal combination for many cact i). Plants of the same species originating from different parts of the plant’s native range can also result in higher or lower tolerances. It is possible to have two plants of the same species placed side by side and have one freeze, while the other survives. Often some experimentation is necessary to determine what plants will work best for your garden. Cold Hardy Cacti Species (*Texas Native) Common Name Min. Temp.
