With a minor modification lucidcentral is the KEY <https://keys.lucidcentral.org/keys/v3/eafrinet/weeds/key/weeds/Media/Html/Agave_americana_(Century_Plant).htm> -
1. stout and conspicuous prickles = *americana*, *vera-cruz* and *cantula* (*vivipara*) 2. prickles relatively weak, but present and with special character (screenshot Haines_03) = *angustifolia* 3. prickles absent or if present weak, *not dark coloured, straight, intermittent or not* = *sisalana* Thank you With regards surajit koley On Fri, 4 Jun 2021 at 22:48, surajit koley <[email protected]> wrote: > Sir ji, I am not fully satisfied with the id *Agave vera-cruz*, > because the margina prickles should be *"spreading or decurved, black or > dark coloured", which is not in this case (*as I mentioned in the other > thread > <https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/OCrGjonZCvk/m/_RT_jtRjBQAJ>, > you referred). > While in *A. sisalana*, marginal prickles, if present, are "weak, > scattered and pale." > In *A. angustifolia* var. *angustifolia*, marginal prickles have > interesting character! > > So, I will only check if there is any better *Agave vera-cruz* specimen > in our database. > > Thank you > With regards > surajit koley > > > On Fri, 4 Jun 2021 at 22:03, J.M.
