Sir, I still do not know if *Agave* *americana* has been naturalized in our country or not. Even if it is naturalized, there must have been some mother or grandmother or great grandmother plant nearby.
However, as per lucidcentral, (1), the leaves of *A. americana* are not flexuous, that is why they bend at the tip region only, but leaves are flexuous in *A. cantula*. (2) the colour of the leaves of *A. americana* are quite different than any other *Agave* species, how can I describe it .... like kind of stonewashed or stony textured. I think, in the 2nd picture, some of the apical spine, though not clearly visible, can be called acicular. So, I would suggest *A. cantula* Roxb. for this specimen. Of-course, in that case too, there must have been some mother plants somewhere nearby. Thank you With regards surajit koley On Tue, 15 Jun 2021 at 15:36, J.M.
