Nolina is a genus of tropical xerophytic flowering plants belonging to the Asparagaceae plant family. The native distribution of the genus includes most of Mexico and the southern regions of the United States.[3][4][5][6][7] Especially in the USA, members of the genus are known as beargrasses,[8] some of which are cultivated as ornamental plants.
Nolina species grow large rosettes of many leaves, with many species forming large, erect trunks, with some species branching to contain multiple rosettes of leaves. They are typically large plants, and are dioecious, with male and female flowers being produced on different plants.[4][5][9]
The genus is named for 18th century French arboriculturist Abbé C. P. Nolin.[4]
