Agave ‘Becky’
This is one I picked up from Solana Succulents last year as an unlabelled plant but it’s fairly common on ebay/etsy due it’s pupping proclivity. Has a different leaf shape than ‘Kissho Kan’, ‘Tradewinds’ or ‘Rum Runner’ and makes a nice container specimen.

Re: Agave ‘Becky’
What is the origin of Becky? Is it a cultivar of A. isthmensis or A. potatorum or a hybrid?

Re: Agave ‘Becky’
I believe it is a cultivar of isthmensis. When ‘Becky’ reverts it looks quite similar to the inland form of isthmensis.
Here is a “Harvey Dent Becky” with half reversion:
