I don't know the name of this plant. In the base it seems an Aloe or Agave, and the flowers are in a long an d branched stem that it emerges from the center of the plant. Finally identified as Phormiun tenax (or P. cookianum) thanks to hortulus.

ENGLISH
New Zealand flax describes common New Zealand perennial plants Phormium tenax and Phormium cookianum, known by the Māori names harakeke and wharariki respectively. They are quite distinct from the Northern Hemisphere plant known as flax (Linum usitatissimum), but the genus was given the common name 'flax' by Anglophone Europeans as it too could be used for its fibres.

New Zealand flax produces long leaf fibres that have played an important role in the culture, history, and economy of New Zealand. Phormium tenax occurs naturally in New Zealand and Norfolk Island, while Phormium cookianum is endemic to New Zealand. Both species have been widely distributed to temperate regions of the world as economic fibre and ornamental plants.

The naturalist Jacques Labillardière collected indigenous flax plants when French ships visited the far north of the North Island of New Zealand in 1793. He had noted the many uses the Māori had put to the plant and in 1803 gave it the scientific name Phormium, meaning "basket" or "wickerwork", and tenax meaning "tenacity" or "holding fast".

Phormium tenax is found mainly in swamps or low lying areas but will grow just about anywhere and is also much propagated in gardens as an evergreen decorative plant, both in New Zealand and now worldwide. Phormium tenax is an herbaceous perennial monocot. Monocot classification has undergone significant revision in the past decade, and recent classification systems (including the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group) have found Phormium tenax to be closely related to daylilies (Hemerocallis). Phormium tenax formerly belonged to the family Agavaceae and many classification systems still place it there.

CASTELLANO
El lino de Nueva Zelanda es el nombre común de las plantas perennes de Nueva Zelanda Phormium tenax y Phormium cookianum, conocidas en idioma maorí como harakeke y wharariki respectivamente. Son bien distintas de la sp. del Hemisferio norte lino (Linum sp.).

El lino de Nueva Zelanda produce fibras largas que han sido muy importantes en la cultura, historia, y la economía de Nueva Zelanda. Phormium tenax es nativa de Nueva Zelanda y de la Isla Norfolk, mientras que Phormium cookianum es endémica de Nueva Zelanda. Ambas especies están ampliamente distribuidas en regiones templadas del mundo como fibra comercial y planta ornamental.

Phormium tenax se encuentra en pantanos y áreas bajas, pero crece en cualquier lugar y aparece mucho propagada en jardines como planta decorativa siempreverde, en Nueva Zelanda y luego mundialmente.

Phormium tenax es una herbácea perenne monocots. La clasificación Monocot ha tenido significativa revisión en la pasada década, y recientes sistemas de clasificación (incluyendo el APG) encontró que Phormium tenax está estrechamente emparentada con los lirios Hemerocallis. Phormium tenax sigue en la familia Agavaceae y continúa en muchos sistemas de clasificación.
