    1. Reviewed by Juergen H. J. F. W. Bredow    Jul 6, 2016

    Action: changed name from "Yucca angustissima" to "Yucca utahensis "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "At first glance Yucca angustissima (in the Zion NP their var. / ssp. kanabensis) appears quite similar, however, but in this taxon has racemose inflorescences, occasionally paniculate proximally. Yucca utahensis however, however, has branched paniculate inflorescences, as can be seen on the photo, and only sometimes distally racemose.
