  • Common Name: Yucca (Palm Lily, Adam's Needle, Joshua Tree)
  • Latin Name: Yucca spp.
  • Family Name: Agavaceae

Although this plant is high in saponins (especially the roots), it is a nice decorative plant for the tortoise enclosure and would do no harm if flowers were ingested occasionally.  Sometimes sold as a house plant.

N.B. this plant is toxic to dogs, cats, and horses.
