Yucca harrimaniae Trel.,[5] the Spanish bayonet,[6] is a species in the family Asparagaceae, native to Utah, Nevada, Colorado, northeastern Arizona and northern New Mexico, at elevations from 1000 m to 2700 m.[7][2][8]
Yucca harrimaniae is a small, acaulescent (stemless) species forming clumps of rosettes. Flowers are nodding (hanging downward), partly greenish-white, partly purplish.[9] The species is closely related to Y. sterilis (Neese & S.L.Welsh) S.L.Welsh & L.C.Higgins..[2]
The overall species is relatively common and widespread. Two varieties, var. nana and var. sterilis, have very small and restricted ranges.[1]
