Manfreda
''Manfreda'' was a genus of flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae. Along with '' Polianthes'', members are commonly called tuberoses. The generic name honours 14th-century Italian writer Manfredus de Monte Imperiale. All species are now placed in ''Agave''. (See ''Agave'' § Taxonomy.) Like other species of ''Agave'', former ''Manfreda'' species 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 lengthy stamens.

Agave Virginica
''Agave virginica'', synonym ''Manfreda virginica'', commonly known as the false aloe, rattlesnake master, American aloe, and Virginia agave, is a species of agave. It is native to an area stretching from North Carolina west to Texas in the United States and south to Nuevo León and Tamaulipas Tamaulipas (), officially the Free and Sovereign State of Tamaulipas ( es, Estado Libre y Soberano de Tamaulipas), is a state in the northeast region of Mexico; one of the 31 states which, along with Mexico City, comprise the 32 Federal Entiti ... in Mexico. Description False aloe is acaulescent, meaning the Plant stem, stem is extremely short. Leaves and flowering stems are from a bulbous herbaceous caudex. The fleshy green Leaf, leaves are usually spotted or speckled with maroon. Sufficient precipitation yields an inflorescence up to tall in the period from early summer to late summer, rarely in the spring. The inflorescences bears 10–61 closely spaced flowers.

Agave Scabra
''Agave scabra'' (synonym ''Manfreda scabra''), also known as rough leaved agave, is a member of the subfamily Agavoideae. Description ''Agave scabra'' has rosettes growing in height and in width. It is similar in form to many other agaves. The rosettes are suckering. The glaucous bluish-green leaves are mostly reflexed and rough (like sand-paper). The inflorescence is up to in height, with yellow flowers during the summer. Distribution It is native to the Chihuahuan Desert and surrounding regions, in northeastern Mexico and Texas Texas (, ; Spanish language, Spanish: ''Texas'', ''Tejas'') is a state in the South Central United States, South Central region of the United States.

Agave Maculata
''Agave maculata'' ( synonym ''Manfreda maculosa''), commonly known as the Texas tuberose or spice lily, is a species of ''Agave'' that is endemic to southern Texas and northeastern Mexico. Description The Texas tuberose is acaulescent, meaning the stem is extremely short. The fleshy silvery-green leaves are covered with purple spots and in low light situations may lay flat on the ground. In a drought, the leaves may wither, leaving little or nothing visible above ground. Sufficient precipitation yields an inflorescence tall in the period April–September. The new flower stalks (inflorescences) are fed on by small mammals, javelina, deer, and feral pigs, which can end the flowering effort for that season. The leaves are fed on by these as well, especially during droughts, weakening and killing the plants. The flowers open and change colors over 3–4 days of life, from white to pink to dark red. The inferior ovaries turn from green to purple to black as they mature as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Agave Gracillima
''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'', ''Hesper ...

Agave Longiflora
''Agave longiflora'' (synonym ''Manfreda longiflora'') is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae that is native to the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas in the United States and northern Tamaulipas in Mexico. Common names include amole de río, longflower tuberose, and Runyon's huaco. The type specimens were sent by botanist and photographer Robert Runyon (1881–1968) to the New York Botanical Garden in 1921. Consequently, the species was initially placed in a monotypic genus named in his honour, ''Runyonia'', by Joseph Nelson Rose. The species has been placed in the genus ''Manfreda'', now absorbed into ''Agave''. ''A. longiflora'' is a rhizomatous perennial with 3–7 prostrate leaves in a basal rosette. It inhabits hills, terraces and slopes in the semi-arid Tamaulipan mezquital The Tamaulipan mezquital ( es, Mezquital Tamaulipeco) is a deserts and xeric shrublands ecoregion in the southern United States and northeastern Mexico.
