Yucca is a genus o perennial shrubs an trees in the faimily Asparagaceae, subfaimily Agavoideae.[2] Its 40-50 species is notable for thair rosettes o evergreen, teuch, swuird-shaped leaves an lairge terminal panicles o white or whitish flouers. Thay are native tae the het an dry (arid) pairts o North Americae, Central Americae, Sooth Americae, an the Caribbean. Early reports o the species wis confused wi the cassava (Manihot esculenta).[3] Consequently, Linnaeus mistakenly derived the generic name frae the Taino wird for the latter, yuca (spelt wi a single "c").[4] It is colloquially kent in the Midwast Unitit States as "ghosts in the graveyard", as it is commonly foond growin in rural graveyairds an whan in bloom the cluster o (uisually pale) flouers on a thin stalk appear as fleetin apparitions.
