Furcraea tuberosa, Ait. (F. interrupta, F. spinosa, Agave spinosa, A. campanulata, A. tuberosa, Yucca superba, Auct.). Nearly trunkless: lvs. broadly lanceolate, nearly flat, 8x50-70 in.; teeth usually  1/5 in. long and 2/3 – 1 1/3 in. apart, sometimes absent toward the end or below: infl. 25 ft.: caps, unknown: freely bulbiferous, the bulbels elongated. Cuba and Haiti and, in somewhat differing forms, in Porto Rico and through the Lesser Antilles. Rep. Mo. Bot. Card. 18:1-4. R.H. 1877, p. 233. Cycle. Amer. Agric., II. p. 290. Gt. 1852:3. Yearbook Dept. Agric. 1904:31. Ann. Mus. Firenze. 1:4. Commelin, Hort. Amts. 2:19. —Commonly called silk-grass, sometimes maguey or cocuiza: apparently the Haitian cabuya of early writers. With the teeth twinned, as they are sometimes in F. selloa and characteristically in F. humboldtiana, it is Var. geminispina (F. geminispina, Ait.)
