Caribbean Agave

Latin Name
Observation Date
Location
Agave angustifolia
July 25, 2025
Aceh, Indonesia

At first glance, this plant resembles an aloe vera plant in its shape and appearance. Its Latin name is Agave angustifolia, which, according to my research, is a type of Agave plant native to Mexico.

I found it growing wild here and is not cultivated or included in garden plants in our area. In some places, this plant thrives and is also a heat-tolerant plant.

What's unique about this plant is that all parts of the leaf or petal have spines on the left and right sides and at the tips of the leaves or petals.
