About Nolina greenei S.Watson ex Wooton & Standl.
Nolina greenei, commonly called woodland beargrass, is a plant species native to the United States. It is widespread across New Mexico, and has also been recorded in specific locations in other states: Las Animas County in Colorado, Deaf Smith and Garza Counties in Texas, and Cimarron County in Oklahoma. This species grows in rocky habitats, including limestone outcrops and old lava flows. It is most often found in grasslands or pine-oak woodlands, at elevations ranging between 1200 and 2000 meters. Nolina greenei is a perennial plant that forms rosettes and has an underground caudex. Its leaves are long and narrow; they can sometimes grow over 100 cm in length, but rarely exceed 1 cm in width. The leaf margins sometimes bear sharp teeth. The plant’s flowering stalk can reach up to 20 cm high, and holds a large panicle of white flowers that have purple midveins. The fruit it produces is a dry, inflated capsule that grows up to 5 mm across.
