Agave lecheguilla, Torr. (A. multilineata, Baker. A. Poselgeri, Salm. A. telragona, Hort.). Lvs. triangular-oblong, concave, falcately ascending, 1 x 16-24 in., green or bluish but not glaucous, pale-banded ventrally and dark-lined on the back, with flattened gray-brown spine and recurved slender prickles joined by a very narrow straight margin: infl. 3-12 ft., glaucous; fls. 3/4-1 1/2 in.; ovary flask-shaped, 1/2 in., segm. 1/2 in., tube 1/8 in. W. Texas and southward, in a number of forms of which the southernmost, from below San Luis Potosi, with broader lvs. and heavier prickles, is A. mesotillo, Hort. It furnishes the greater part of the ixtle or lechuguilla fiber of New Mex. usuallv ascribed to A. heleracantha. Pop. Sci. Monthly 70, p. 223. Bot. Bound. 1, pl. 34, 39. Repp. Mo. Bot. Gard. 7, pl. 31; 13. pl. 42. Bull. Univ. Texas 60, pl. 3, 6.—Closely allied forms, frequent in European gardens, are A. coerulescens, Salm-Dyck (a hybrid of which with A. Victoriae Reginae is reported), differing chiefly in being very glaucous, and its var. stenophylla with lvs. over 4 ft. long A. Funkiana, Koch & Boouche, with flatter, more oblong, rather glaucous lvs., which furnishes the ixtle of Jaumave; A. Nissonii, Baker, with thin, yucca-like, glaucous lvs.; A. nigrescens (A. heteracantha nigrescens, Hort.), with thick, dark blue-green, long-triangular, often undulate lvs., sometimes almost or quite unarmed on the margin, when it is the form inermis.
