Beschorneria yuccoides is a species of succulent plant belonging to the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae.

The epithet yuccoides is a compound of the botanical name of the genus Yucca and the Greek suffix -ό-εἶδος (o-eidos) oides meaning "likeness".

[2][3] Beschorneria yuccoides is present in Mexico,[4] in the states of Hidalgo, Puebla and Veracruz, at an elevation of 2,700–3,000 m (8,900–9,800 ft) above sea level.

[5] This plant is not tolerant of severe freezes, and is best suited to warm, sheltered south- or west-facing places in full sun, where temperatures do not fall below −5 °C (23 °F).

It grows outdoors at Earlscliffe, Howth, County Dublin, Ireland, at a latitude of 53.3º N, where it benefits from the unusually favourable microclimate.
