Joshua tree
Taxus brevifolia is the Californian or Oregon Yew. Taxas baccata, which is often confused with brevifolia, has foliage that is used in preparation of a cancer drug.
The yucca plant and yucca moth have a mutualistic relationship where both species benefit. The yucca moth pollinates the yucca flowers and lays its eggs in the plant's ovaries. In return, the yucca moth larvae feed on the yucca seeds, ensuring their survival.
There are a number of insects that eat the Yucca plant. These insects include Yucca weevils, Yucca moth, and mealybugs, as well as mites
It's a mutualistic relationship. The yucca plant (Mexico, Caribbean and Southern US) can't pollinate itself to grow more seeds. The yucca moth pollinates the plant and lays its eggs inside the plant. When the moth larvae hatch, they feed on the seeds of the yucca plant, but the plant only lets a certain number grow, so that they don't eat all the seeds. So by pollinating the plant, the moth develops food for its larvae and the plant as well as the moth can survive and continue. And the adult moths emerge from their underground cocoons exactly when the yucca plants are in flower, in early summer.
It is a moth, known colloquially as a "Yucca Moth"; scientifically "Prodoxidae". I very recently watched David Attenborough's 'Life on Earth' series where this symbiotic relationship was featured.
The scientific name for the Joshua tree is Yucca brevifolia.
Yucca filamentosa, the most common type, Yucca brevifolia (Joshua tree), Yucca aloifolia (Spanish bayonet), and Yucca gloriosa (Spanish dagger). Yucca baccata and Yucca glauca, are called soap plant.
