Name

Yucca × karlsruhensis Graebn. (1903)

• Formula hybridae: Yucca flaccida Haw. × Yucca glauca Nutt.

Note:

In the original publication, Graebener (1903) state that he had used Y. glauca as the pollen parent, and Y. filamentosa as seed parent. But the plant he pictured as Y. filamentosa is in fact Y. flaccida, often misidentified as Y. filamentosa in the horticultural trade. This is an artificial hybrid not a natural nothospecies.
