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.

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?

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?

The fourth one appears to be Agave attenuata.

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.

Wow Agavedave that Lophantha

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?

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

Thank you, I had not considered Boldinhiana.
