We are thrilled to offer the recently (2016) described sotol species, Dasylirion micropterum. This new addition for dryland gardens, hails from a narrow range around 9,000' elevation in Mexican State of Coahuilla, on the western flank of the Sierra Madre Oriental. Occurring on alkaline slopes with scrubby oaks, the short-trunks (<15") are topped with a 7' wide crown of flat, dark green, ascending leaves. The plants are named (micropterum) for their small, narrow-winged fruit.
