Yucca is a genus of over 40 perennial plants, shrubs, and trees. A few are grown as houseplants, including Yucca gigantea (also known as Y. guatemalensis and Y. elephantipes) and the Yucca aloifolia.

A stray dog that wandered into a Yucca Valley Walmart in late February has touched off a series of events including accusations of theft, illness and a potential case of mistaken identity.
