|discussion=<p>Some populations of <i>Yucca baileyi</i> comprise compact colonies of semierect, branched plants instead of scattered, cespitose individuals. These populations were recognized as var. navajoa by J. M. Webber (1953), who noted that <i>Y. baileyi</i> possibly hybridizes with <i>Y. glauca</i> and <i>Y. angustissima</i>.</p>
