Here's one I used to have, sent to me from someone on a gardening forum. The label says A.merocco fma. compacta
You can take the boy out of the greenhouse, but you can't take the greenhouse out of the boy!

Agave victoria-reginae by stephen boisvert, on Flickr
BCSS seed. 2012. Amazing germination rates... 26 seedlings I think.
Alas I had to give them away when I crossed the pond.
