  • Reviewers' comments about this photo (review or add another comment)
    1. Reviewed by Lee Dittmann    Jul 2, 2010

    Action: changed name from "Yucca baccata" to "Yucca schidigera "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "The presence of a trunk, though mostly clothed in leaves in this specimen, is indicative of Mojave Yucca, Y. schidigera, and not Y. baccata. The latter seems to have a bluish tint to the leaves as well."
