Puya gigas, Andre. Still larger than the latter, sending its titanic spikes 20-30 ft. into the air, from a rosette of hard and thick spiny-toothed agave-like lvs.: infl. simple, dense, club-shaped, terminating the tall, erect, bracted scape: lvs. green above and white beneath, the spines black and hooked: fls. white, passing into rose. Colombia, 10,000 ft. R.H. 1881,p. 315, and Gn.21, p. 309.—Can probably be handled like agaves.
