Agave scabra ( synonym Manfreda scabra), also known as rough leaved agave, is a member of the subfamily Agavoideae. [1] [2]
Agave scabra has rosettes growing 0.7–1 metre (2.3–3.3 ft) in height and 1.5–2 metres (4.9–6.6 ft) in width. [2] It is similar in form to many other agaves. The rosettes are suckering.
The glaucous bluish-green leaves are mostly reflexed and rough (like sand-paper). The inflorescence is up to 4.5 metres (15 ft) in height, with yellow flowers during the summer. [2]
It is native to the Chihuahuan Desert and surrounding regions, in northeastern Mexico and Texas. [2] It grows from 500–1,500 metres (1,600–4,900 ft) in elevation. [2]
