摘要：
Although several species of Agave L. (Agavaceae/Asparagaceae) are known to have become established in southern Africa, particularly South Africa, this is the first time that evidence supported by herbarium specimens is documented for the occurrence of the agavoid Yucca aloifolia L. in the region. Notes are provided on the reproductive biology and uses of Y. aloifolia, with emphasis on South Africa.
