Yucca glauca, which has slender leaves, is found in dry conditions, along Magnolia and around Gross Reservoir. A fatter cousin, Yucca baccata, lives in drier, hotter locations throughout the Southwest.
The globe-shaped flowers are the focus of a symbiotic relationship with a moth, Tegeticula yuccasella. The moth pollinates the flower, while laying an egg in its depths. The larva feeds on the pollen.
