|discussion=<p><i>Nolina greenei</i> is resurrected for the plants of <i>Nolina</i> that occur from central New Mexico north to the Black Mesa region of Oklahoma and just into southeastern Colorado. They are similar to <i>N. texana</i> with respect to the inflorescence contained within the leaves, persistent elongated bracts, and seeds that burst the ovary wall and remain attached. They differ primarily in their broader, slightly serrulate leaves (although some leaves may be entire), copper-colored seeds, and an open woodland-grassland habitat.</p>
