    Is this Utah yucca (Yucca elata var. utahensis)? Or can it be Narrowleaf yucca (Yucca angustissima). Or maybe Utah yucca × Narrowleaf yucca hybrids?

    Photos were taken i South-western Utah in late May.

    Thank you for help with the identification.

    The inflorescence looks paniculate and the distant plant has a trunk. I'd say, Y. elata. Varieties and hybrids are rather difficult to id from the picture.
