Agave filifera, Salm-Dyck (A. pseudofilifera, Ross & Lanz.). Lvs. somewhat upcurved-spreading, oblong-lanceolate, 1-1 1/2 x 8-24 in., with openly grooved spine and rather sparing thin marginal threads: infl. rather stout and dense, 10-15 ft.: fls. maroon, 1 1/2 in.; ovary and segm. 5/8 in. each, tube 1/2 in.- E. Cent. Mex. G.C. II. 7, p. 303; III. 21, p. 167. I. H. 7: 243. Lyon Hort. 1879, p. 208; 1900, p. 371; 1909, p. 147. Gt. 36, p. 544. Neubert's Gart. Mag. 39, p. 307. G.W. 6, p. 79; 1907, p. 9. Ref. Bot., 164. Rep. Mo. Bot. Gard, 11, frontisp. Icon. Sel. Hort. Thenensis, pl. 144.—Varies into a number of forms: var. filamentosa, Baker (A. filamentosa, Salm-Dyck, A. filifera latifolia, longifolia, robusta or major, Bonapartea or Liittaea filamentosa), G.C. 34. p. 101, with large lvs.; var. compacta (vars, brevifolia, compacta, densa, depauperata and minor, Hort.), with short broad lvs.; f. variegata (A. filifera superba, Hort.), in which the dingy cuticular stripes of the type (var. viridis or immaculata) are brighter and more persistent. Hybrids are reported with geminiflora (X A. Taylori), Ghiesbrechtii, schidigera (X A. Leopdldii II, A. filifera Leopoldii, J. H. 1893, p. 334), xalapensis (X A. Romani) and xylonacantha (X A. Villarum).
