An evergreen shrub of the Agavaceae family, cultivated and distributed widely in Malaysia, Polynesia, northeastern Australia, etc. In Hawaii, it is used as a waist belt for hula dancing. There are many variations, and those with different leaf colors and shapes are cultivated as ornamental plants. Since the seedling stage is appreciated, the flowers are rarely seen. Aichiaka (cv.
