Height 2 ft. to 5 ft., rarely 10 ft. Introduced in 1596. Flowers white ; July and August. Y. g. 2film variegatis Lodd. Cat. ed. 1836. â Leaves variegated, eaves are broad and stiff,. Variety. a The but thin : they are of a very dark green, and end in a sharp black spine. The flower-stalk is gene- rally about 3 ft. high, branching out on every side to a considera- ble distance ; but the flowers are very wide asunder on the stalk. Sometimes the panicles of flowers spring at once from the centre of the leaves, without the interven- tion of a stalk. The flowers are bell-shaped, and hang downwards; and each petal is white within, but is marked with a purple stripe on the outside. They are scent- ^oss. less, and are seldom succeeded by seeds in England. The fibres of the leaves are used by the Indians to make a kind of cloth, and also cords, which they use to fasten their houses to- gether, and to make their swing beds, called hammocks. At Carthagena, a starch, or rather glue, is made from the stem, which may be eaten or made into paste. B- 2. Y. (g.) supe'rba. The superb Yucca. Identification. Haworth Suppl., Plant.
