Remarks
|
The name Agave angustifolia can historically not clearly be derived. The entire complex is highly variable and should once be structured in subspecies
|
Agave panamana could be combined into this species. The cultivated species Agave cantala, Agave fourcroydes, and Agave tequilana were selected from the wild populations of Agave angustifolia
