Aarti:
I looked at this for some reason today

Please dont be hasty to get down to the species level...

more often than not such haste  is not advisable...
we dont know anything about this plant.. 

I am happy with colloquial name 

and family name at the best, if pushed 

  And Dr Diwakar is /was at BSI he has not ventured to guess at a name..

for our database it should remain at the family level..

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please. 

Some earlier relevant feedback:

Its the grass tree in Australian grass trees are Xanthorrhoea sp.

if from from southern usa and mexico...

Dasylirion longissimum

another monocot, from Asparagales order.

==

both are very slow growing plants 

take decades to develop the "tree trunks" 

and I do not know how many years to develop the flowering spikes...

Botanists specializing in these xeriscape plants can perhaps tell you, but  
a betting person will say its australian since the picture was from 
australia, but in this day and age of  imports of all kinsds of plants 
growing all over the world who is to say...  unless someone knowledgable 
identifies it properly, and not just from one distant picture.

Though I must say enjoyed looking at this plant.

thank you for submitting it.

Can Mr Diwakar tell us where exactly in New Zealand was this set , what 
season and what was the place: public garden??? someone's home or street 
planting? or botanical garden???
thanks
