Hardy only in mild regions: frequently planted out-of-doors like yuccas in California, but elsewhere requiring house protection. Cultivated much like agaves. Leaves narrow, rigid, pungently pointed, rough- edged: infl. paniclcd; fls. vespertine, cup-shaped as in Yucca, usually white; filaments clavate, attached to base of perianth; pistil with short oblong ovary, abrupt slender style, and fimbriate capitate stigma: caps, incompletely 6-celled, 3-valved through the laciniate false septa; seeds thin, flat and smooth.— Only the following species: The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
