Agave Alboaustralis
''Agave'' (; ; ) is a genus of monocots native to the hot and arid regions of the Americas and the Caribbean, although some ''Agave'' species are also native to tropical areas of North America, such as Mexico. The genus is primarily known for its succulent and xerophytic species that typically form large rosettes of strong, fleshy leaves. ''Agave'' now includes species formerly placed in a number of other genera, such as ''Manfreda'', ×''Mangave'', ''Polianthes'' and ''Prochnyanthes''. Many plants in this genus may be considered perennial, because they require several to many years to mature and flower. However, most ''Agave'' species are more accurately described as monocarpic rosettes or multiannuals, since each individual rosette flowers only once and then dies; a small number of ''Agave'' species are polycarpic. Maguey flowers are considered edible in many indigenous culinary traditions of Mesoamerica. Along with plants from the closely related genera ''Yucca'', '' Hes ...

Agave × Arizonica
''Agave'' × ''arizonica'' is a rare plant, endemic to Arizona. It is a hybrid between two species of ''Agave'' in the family Asparagaceae, ''Agave chrysantha, A. chrysantha'' and ''Agave toumeyana, A. toumeyana'' var. ''bella''. It was discovered in the 1960s near a summit of the New River Mountains, near the Maricopa-Yavapai county line north of Phoenix, Arizona. ''Agave'' × ''arizonica'' is a small plant about 30 cm high and 40 cm broad. Although similar to ''Agave utahensis'', it has distinct differences in suckering more sparingly, in not forming a large dense clump, having leaves with a distinct dark brown margin and also more cylindrical flowers. Its flowers are yellow, with 10-20 per cluster, each up to 3.5 cm (1.4 in) long.Gentry, H. S. 1982. Agaves of Continental North America. Tucson.

Agave Angustifolia
''Agave angustifolia'' (Caribbean agave) is a type of agave plant which is native to Mexico and Central America. It is used to make mezcal and also as an ornamental plant, the cultivar 'Marginata' that white margins on the leaves is a popular variety cultivated in botanical gardens and backyards. It is very closely related to blue agave ''Agave tequilana'', but is used to make the distilled alcoholic beverage mezcal instead of tequila and is the predominant agave species grown in the State of Oaxaca. The ''World Checklist of Selected Plant Families'' regards ''Agave angustifolia'' as an accepted name. Other sources maintain them as distinct species with non-overlapping native distributions (García-Mendoza and Fernando Chiang 2003). ''A. angustifolia'' has narrow, stiffly erect leaves with moderately-spaced spines, producing capsules, not bulbiferous; whereas ''A. vivipara'' is described as having shorter, recurved leaves with short-spaced spines and bulbiferous.
