Abstract

Agave hurteri Trelease, a Guatemalan species, is reported from cultivation in South Africa. The taxonomy, nomenclature and an amplified description are presented for this comparatively little known species, which is recommended for landscape gardening. Experience in Pretoria has shown that plants will flower from very small bulbils within as little as seven years.
