	Yucca: Yucca baccata
		In the spring when banana yucca blooms, it is an especially beautiful plant with its large showy white blooms.
		One of the most fascinating aspects of yuccas is the mutualism that exists between the yucca and the yucca moths (Tegeticula, Incurvariidae).
		The seeds of the yucca provide the sole source of food for the moth larvae and the yucca moths are the only pollinators of the yucca.

	Yucca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The yuccas comprise the genus Yucca of 40-50 species of perennials, shrubs, and trees in the agave family Agavaceae, notable for their rosettes of tough, sword-shaped leaves and large clusters of white or whitish flowers.
		Yuccas have a very specialized pollination system, being pollinated by the Yucca moth; the insect purposefully transfers the pollen from the stamens of one plant to the stigma of another, and at the same time lays an egg in the flower; the moth larva then eats some of the developing seeds, but far from all.
		Many yuccas also bear edible parts, including fruits, seeds, flowers, flowering stems, and more rarely roots, but use of these is sufficiently limited that references to yucca as food more often than not stem from confusion with the similarly spelled but botanically unrelated yuca.

		UT: Banana yucca associates in a flbrush (Coleogne ramosissima) community in southwestern Utah are red brome (Bromus rubens), cheatgrass (B. tectorum), green ephedra, turpentine broom (Thamnosma montana), desert almond (Prunus fasciculata), and Joshua tree [11].
		Banana yucca can also be propagated by cutting basal sprouts from the main stem, preferably including a few roots in the cutting [51].
		It is the most northerly yucca in its taxonomic section (Sarcocarpa), and sprouting may have evolved in banana yucca as an adaptation to freezing temperature rather than to fire [18,19,51].

	YUCCA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		All yuccas have a highly characteristic means of pollination by female yucca moths of the genus Tegeticula.
		After mating, the female moth gathers pollen from the yucca flowers then flies to a different yucca plant and lays her eggs in the ovary of the flower.
		Yuccas leaves are a major source of fibres for basket-making and other types of weaving by native American people.

		Yucca pollination ecology is an example of a tight symbiosis called a mutualism.
		(Yucca aloifolia of the southeastern U.S. is pollinated by bees.) The blossoms need pollen from a different plant in order to produce seed, and it must be packed into a deep receptacle on the stigma, an event that could not occur by chance visitation.
		Yuccas don’t have to set seed every year because they flower many times in their long lives.
