Agave Linnaeus. Century Plant, Maguey.
A genus of ca. 225 species, rosette shrubs, of tropical and neotropical New World. As is so often the case, the argument between a broad Agave (including in our area Manfreda) and a narrower Agave (excluding in our area Manfreda) is not a phylogenetic "yes" or "no" answer.
