Furcraea tuberosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae.

The numerous leaves are arranged in a rosette and range from more-or-less upright to spreading.

[4] The species was first described as Agave tuberosa by Philip Miller in 1768, based on an illustration published in 1696 in Leonard Plukenet's Phytographia.

[5] It has also become naturalized in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa, where it appears to be invasive via the distribution of bulbils rather than seed, which has not been observed.

The species may have been spread within Cuba in the past by Haitian slaves; it is particularly found near roads and in small towns.
