Agave potatorum
Morphologically highly polymorphic species from Puebla and Oaxaca states in Mexico, where it is found wild at
elevations from 4500 to 7500 feet.
It found traditional use in the making of Agave wine (pulque) and the spirit Bacanora in Mexico.
The size of the whole plant, the characteristic number of leaves as well as shape and spininess all vary a lot. Forms like this, with large numbers of nearly orbicular leaves are popular in cultivation. Some young plants sucker freely but they stop doing so as they mature. They can take ten years to flower, and then the whole rosette dies.
