Yuccas plants have a very, very specialized pollination system, being pollinated by an insect called the yucca

moth; this moth transfers the pollen from the stamens of one plant to the stigma of another intensionally, and at the same time lays an egg in the flower; the moth eggs when hatched to larva then eats some of the developing seeds, but far from all.

Yuccas are made up of the genus Yucca of 40+ species of perennials plants, bushes, and trees in the agave plant family Agavaceae. The Yucca is remembered for their spikes of evergreen, almost plastic feeling, spear like-shaped leaves and big clusters/bunches of whitish flowers. They originally are native to the very hot and very dry parts of Central America, North America, and the West Indies as they are home to a lot of hardy dry resistant plants like the Yucca.

Yuccas are seen a lot in gardens grown as ornamental plants. Many yuccas bear edible parts, including fruits, seeds, flowers, and more rarely roots. Dried out yucca wood/bark has a low ignition temperature and in fact the lowest ignition temperature of any other wood, making it one of the most perfect woods for fire starting.
