About Yucca reverchonii Trel.

Yucca reverchonii Trel. is a plant species belonging to the family Asparagaceae. It is commonly known as the San Angelo yucca. It is native to the Edwards Plateau region of Texas in the United States, and also to the Mexican states of Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Durango, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, and San Luís Potosí. It is closely related to Yucca rupicola Scheele and Yucca thompsoniana Trel. This species can be distinguished by several key characteristics: it has a low, trunkless growth form, and forms scattered colonies growing on limestone. Its leaf edges do not have curling hairs, and the leaves have very fine teeth. The leaves are nearly flat, straight with little to no twisting, and usually measure less than 15 mm across.
