Yucca filifera is a plant belonging to the subfamily Agavaceae and family Asparagaceae, native to central Mexico. It was discovered in 1840 by Josiah Gregg and later introduced to Europe by J. Benjamin Chabaud. This tall, heavily branched yucca has straight leaves growing in rosette-shaped bunches and produces white flowers. It is not considered to be threatened and is locally used for fibers. Y. filifera can be cultivated in dry conditions and is used for roof covering and handcrafting. A large specimen of this plant can be found at Stanford University.
