Beaucarnea Recurvata
Nolina recurvata, Pony-tail palm, Elephant's foot, Nolina tuberculata Unusual plant with a swollen stem base and long grassy leaves. A variegated form has recently become available.
This relative of the Yucca is a botanical oddity from the arid deserts of Mexico, where it may grow to ten metres in height. The swollen bulb-like base is quite natural and capable of storing enough water to keep the plant alive for up to a year. They were first cultivated in the late 19th Century and were considered by the Victorians to be something of a curiosity. One writer described them as “grotesque, yet graceful”, and judging by the plant’s common names they make very different impressions on people.
