+'''''Agave attenuata''''' is a species of [[agave]] sometimes known as the "lion's tail", "swan's neck", or "foxtail" for its development of a curved stem, unusual among agaves. Native to the plateau of central [[Mexico]], as one of the unarmed agaves, it is popular as an ornamental plant in gardens.

+The stems typically range from 50 to 150 cm (20–60 in) in length, and eventually old leaves fall off, leaving them naked and visible. The leaves are ovate-accuminate, 50–70 cm (20–28 in) long and 12–16 cm (5–6 in) wide, pale in color, ranging from a light gray to a light yellowish green. There are no teeth, nor terminal spines, although the leaves taper to points that fray with age. The inflorescence is a dense [[raceme]] 2.5 to 3 meters (8 to 10 ft) high, with greenish-yellow flowers.
