Abstract

A cryptic new Agave species ⊠ long confused with Agave tenuifolia ⊠ is described from the humid canyons on the eastern side of the Sierra Madre Oriental of Nuevo León and Tamaulipas, Mexico. Its vegetative and flower morphology place this species in the section Juncineae Salm-Dyck, and it is compared to Agave lexii García-Morales, García-Jiménez & Iamonico, Agave striata Zucc., and Agave tenuifolia Zamudio & E. Sánchez. This brings the total number of taxa in the Juncineae to 12; plants in this section are restricted to mainland Mexico.
