Agave Wocomahi.
wocomahi

Description.

Dark green to glaucous green non suckering solitary plants up to 2m diameter.

Leaves, smooth, up to 90 cm long, 25 cm broad, mostly lanceolate to linear-lanceolate narrowing toward the base, plane, thick-fleshy, rather rigid, ascending to depressed in age. Margins straight to undulate with large teeth, 1-2 cm long, dark brown to glaucous brown, variously flexed, those below the mid-blade frequently down-flexed, and smaller interstitial teeth irregularly occurring.

Agave wocomahi is native to the rocky, calcareous, open mountain slopes through the pine-oak forests at elevations between 1,400 and 2,500 m, from southeastern Sonora and adjacent Chihuahua to southern Durango. Gentry noted that there was no inter-grading of A. wocomahi with its neighbours and no vegeta­tive reproduction had been observed.
