Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on Apr 20, 2023 11:00 AM concerning plant:
Recently described (2022) clumping agave from Oaxaca with light green leaves that are often whitish on the bottom. Axillary branches.
Formerly sold as "Magnifica" before its description as a species. Filed in the Micranthae, along with chiapensis, celsii/mitis and other species. Relatively widespread in cultivation, given the recent description, thanks in part to the distribution by Rare Palm Seeds under the old name.
