Yucca elata, also known as soaptree, soaptree yucca, soapweed, and palmella, is a perennial plant native to the southwestern region of North America. It can be found in the Sonoran Desert and Chihuahuan Desert in the United States and northern Mexico. This plant has a sparsely branched trunk and long, slender leaves arranged in a spiral whorl. Its white, bell-shaped flowers grow in clusters and produce capsules that release black seeds. Yucca elata is well-adapted to dry, semi-desert conditions and is often used by Native Americans for various purposes, including making clothing and soap. It is also the state flower of New Mexico. While its population appears to be decreasing, this plant remains widely distributed throughout its range.
