Though described as a species it has been combined with seemanniana and reduced to a subspecies (Ullrich 1992). A fairly narrow endemic found only growing on limestone cliffs near Comitan, Chiapas, Mexico at about 3,000 feet of altitude. A miniature grower rarely exceeding 12 inches across in a leafy rosette. The leaves are constricted at the base and taper rather abruptly to a sharp, extended black terminal spine. The leaves are very thickly succulent, glaucous, gray-green with prominent, mammilate marginal spines. A great plant for beginners to Agave, it stays small, looks great and is easy to cultivate. Not a fast grower, which is also a benefit to some with restricted space.
