Manfreda (Salisbury) is a genus of about 20 species of plants in the family Agavaceae. Along with Polianthes, members are commonly called tuberoses; some authorities classify the Manfreda with Polianthes, while others group them with Agave.


They are native to the southern United States, Mexico, and Central America.


Like others in the agave family, tuberoses have rosettes of leaves branching from a very short stem, and flowers at the end of a long stalk. The flowers are tubular and whitish, yellow, green, or brownish, with very long stamens.


The Texas tuberose (Manfreda maculosa) is notable for having bright green leaves covered with purple spots.
