Yucca is the State Flower of New Mexico.   It is a food source for butterflies, and many other insects and birds. Its extinction possibility is slight; abundant, native to the southern edge of the Rocky Mountain Floristic Region.

It also served as an “ethnobotanical” for the Native Indigenous.  PLC courses limit their presentations of New Mexico’s Indigenous to the Apache, Comanche, Navajo, Ute, Zuni Peoples because of the plants and animals that are part of the Rocky Mountain Floristic Region.  Other terms for “plants and animals” living in a particular region or environmental situation are:

exotics (non-natives) & introduced
flora & fauna
living vs. non-living
