Summary

Dasylirion is a genus of succulent, rosette-forming plants in the Asparagaceae family, where it is included in the subfamily Convallarioideae. Most species are native to mountainous arid regions of Mexico, with some species also native to the Southwestern United States. The common name sotol is used in English and Spanish to describe various Dasylirion species, as well as giving its name to a distilled spirit made from some species of the genus. The genus name Dasylirion is a compound word coming from the Greek δασύς (dasy), meaning dense, thick or shaggy and λείριον (lirion), meaning lily. As of November 2024, the genus Dasylirion includes 23 accepted species....read more on Wikipedia.
