--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>cespitose, forming dense to open colonies, acaulescent or short-caulescent; rosettes usually small, asymmetrical or symmetrical. <b>Stems</b> to 0.3 m. <b>Leaf</b> blade pale green, linear- or spatulate-lanceolate, concavo-convex, widest near middle, 30–50 × 1.8–4.3 cm, rigid, margins entire, filiferous, white or brown, apex pungent. <b>Inflorescences</b> racemose, rarely paniculate proximally, arising within or just beyond rosettes, 3.5–7 dm; branches, when present, few, short; bracts erect, proximal to 20 cm, distal 5–8 cm; peduncle scapelike, 0.1–0.2 m, less than 2.5 cm diam. <b>Flowers</b> pendent; perianth broadly campanulate; tepals distinct, yellow or greenish yellow, usually tinged purple, broadly lanceolate, 4–5(–5.3) × 1.6–3.4 cm; filaments 1.6–2.8 cm; pistil pale green, 2.7–3.8 × 0.4–0.8 cm; style pale to bright green, 9–13 mm; stigmas lobed. <b>Fruits</b> erect, capsular, dehiscent, cylindrical, usually deeply constricted toward center, 3–5(–5.5) × 2–3 cm, dehiscence septicidal. <b>Seeds</b> dull black, thin, 5–8 × (3.5–)4–8 mm.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>S. D. McKelvey (1938–1947) included <i>Yucca neomexicana</i> in <i>Y. harrimaniae</i>, as did J. L. Reveal (1977c), who gave it varietal status. K. H. Clary’s (1997) DNA studies contributed to a consensus tree in which <i>Y. harrimaniae</i> and <i>Y. neomexicana</i> are discrete and widely separated. These taxa are allopatric, separated by the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, and this along with Clary’s evidence supports their recognition as separate species.</p>
