Synonyms: Sarcoyucca schottii (homotypic); Yucca brasiliensis; Yucca macrocarpa; Yucca puberula

Wikipedia Abstract

Yucca × schottii is a plant species in the genus Yucca, native to southern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, and the northern parts of Sonora and Chihuahua.. The common names are Schott's yucca, hoary yucca, and mountain yucca. The "×" in the name indicates that this is a nothospecies, regarded as being a natural hybrid between two other species. In this case, Yucca × schottii is believed to have originated as a hybrid between Y. baccata and Y. madrensis. Yucca × schottii is firmly established and does reproduce freely in the wild. \n* Mountain Yucca(Schott's Yucca)
