I have been in an enigmatic state as to what these plants are for a while. I would be grateful for any help on the matter.
Agave ID's

Re: Agave ID's
The first one , I thought lophantha but the teeth seem a bit more irregular, see attached pic' for comparison? This one is turning into monster already bursting out of a 50cm pot.
Second one lurida?
Third one, Agave shrevei ssp. matapensis
from Gentry
"Small to medium, light gray glaucous, rather open rosettes, suckering late and sparsely; leaves short-lanceolate, 30-45 x 8-14 cm, mostly plane to conduplicate toward apex, the larger teeth in the mid-blade down-flexed, the margin nearly straight to undulate"
very nice - does it pup?
Regards
Dave

Re: Agave ID's
Thanks, I had never considered anything other than Parryanae for the 3rd one. Lurida seems to fit for the 3rd one as well (I was getting confused with desmettiana for some reason). I can see how the first one possibly fits in to the Marginatae group so because it seems to have intestinal spines, I was thinking along the lines of a younger Horrida?

Re: Agave ID's
The fourth one appears to be Agave attenuata.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

Re: Agave ID's
I think 4 has too many marginal spines to be attenuata?
I am now going to be a pain and add these guys for id's. Again, thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Agave ID's
Sorry I did not see your question about whether the plant in photo 3 pups. It has not pupped in the year and a bit that I have had it.
Has anyone got any ideas about the last two photos?

Re: Agave ID's
Take your pick... No idea with the other one
These two I'm 100% on the IDs as I saw the parents in flower.
Best regards
Dave
