'''''Agave vilmoriniana''''', sometimes misspelled ''vilmoriana'', and popularly known as '''Octopus agave''', is a species of [[agave]] known for its untoothed arching and twisting leaves.
The species was named by [[Alwin Berger]] in 1913 in honor of [[Maurice de Vilmorin]], based on specimens collected by [[Leon Diguet]] and grown at the [[Jardin des Plantes]] in [[Paris]]. Wild plants had been found in 1899 by [[J. N. Rose]] near [[Guadalajara, Jalisco]].
In nature, the octopus agave prefers the cliffs of [[barranca]]s of southern [[Sonora]] through [[Sinaloa]] to [[Jalisco]] and [[Aguascalientes]], typically between elevations of 600 to 1,700 meters.
