Read about Nolina in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Nolina (C. P. Nolin, joint author of an essay on agriculture, Paris, 1755). Liliaceae, tribe Nolineae. Sub-acaulescent, or small trees, with dracena-like leaves, little cultivated except under glass, and sometimes in open grounds in southern California and comparable regions. The liliaceous tribe Nolineae, in addition to Dasylirion, contains 3 genera with unarmed Lvs., so closely related that they have been united by excellent botanists under the genus Nolina. As now limited, however. Nolina has panicled small polygamo-dioecious fls. and wingless 3-lobed 1-3-seeded often inflated fr.; Calibanus differs from it in the fr. being neither lobed nor inflated; Beaucarnea, like Dasylirion, has 3-winged fr., neither lobed nor inflated, and its trunk differs from that of Nolina in being more swollen at base. S. U. S. to Cent. Amer. Monograph in Proc. Amer. Phil. Soc. 50 (1911), by Trelease; species 24. Other species than those enumerated below may be expected in the collections of amateurs. Treatment in cult, as for yuccas. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
