Yucca gloriosa.

[Aarti S. Khale]

Narain Singh Ji,

Thanks for the id.

Will wait for validation between the two suggested ids.

Regards,

Aarti

[Ushadi Micromini]

Yucca rigida or luminosa  because of leaf overall .. and the smoothish bark..

but that's not the taxonomic key based diagnosis...
that's as far as i will go...  not a written instone diagnosis... though, can be changed...

if there is enough argument about other diagnosis  I have no problem...

But before its doe good proof is what is needed to be really scientific...

BESIDES : Yuccas developed during the Eocene epoch  and so did its pollinator moths..

giving rise to soooo many closely related taxa... that it takes a lot of laboratory based detailed dedicated lifetimes of studies..

I am not going to do a final diagnosis based on these pictures taken in touristy  episode..

Its nice to take these pictures, makes interesting documentation of different flora and fauna seen during trips and very interesting to share with family , friends and some forum.

I welcome them, and often look forward to them , often with some great eagerness, but...

40 million years of development .. belies my knowledge...

I am not going to guess or argue about the species id.. in this case.  My knowledge goes so far , that's it..

Only , if some guy or gal  in the southwest USA who has studied these all his/her scientific  life or grown them with equal zeal and knowledge ... I welcome his or her opinion  regarding a Joshua tree or its relative which may not qualify to be called a joshua tree.
