Dasylirion (Greek, tufted lily). Liliaceae. Stiff short-trunked desert plants, with crowded leaves and elevated panicles of small mostly white or whitish flowers.

Dasylirion (Greek, tufted lily). Liliaceae. Stiff short-trunked desert plants, with crowded leaves and elevated panicles of small mostly white or whitish flowers.

Caudex or trunk erect and woody: Lvs. numerous, near the top of the trunk, long and rigid, usually prickly-margined: fls. dioecious, in dense racemes which are crowded into a narrow compound panicle; perianth campanulate, the segms. toothed, distinct and nearly equal, obtuse; stamens 6, exserted, style short; stigmas 3: fr. dry and indehiscent, 3-winged, 1-celled and 1-seeded.—About 15 species. Mex., to Texas and Ariz. Monograph in Proc. Amer. Phil. Soc. 50, p. 404 (1911).

Mex., to Texas and Ariz.  

Dasylirions are highly ornamental plants, well adapted for rockeries, for isolated specimens on lawns, decoration of conservatories, staircases and similar uses, and eminently suitable for terraces and vases, in the formal style of gardening. The leaves are in large number, inserted in a symmetrical way, so as to form a dome or globe-shaped, regular head, more or less serrulated, and in some species ending in a brush- like tuft of dried fibers. The tall panicles of numberless whitish green minute flowers are also a striking feature, standing far above the crest or crown of leaves. They are of the easiest possible culture, and will stand some degrees of frost, particularly if kept dry. Easily propagated from seeds and from cuttings of the branches when produced, as they do not sucker as a rule. These plants are inferior to Yucca filamentosa
