That looks like an Agave montana x gentryi hybridPaul S wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 12:25 am I've posted these pics before but here goes. In his book Gentry lists locations where he has seen particular agaves as well as the type location. I've been to three of these locations for funkiana, as given in the book, and this is the plant growing there. But is seems fairly widespread and I've seen it elsewhere, too.
The plant in your picture does resemble it a bit, rather too green and too densely suckering, but mostly when people ID a plant as funkiana it isn't.
Agave montana

Re: Agave montana
Thank you for posting your habitat photos. Repost or not it’s always appreciated. I enjoy seeing real world in comparison to the tissue cultured “selections” sold in the store.

Re: Agave montana
Three of my best Agave montana. They’ve grown very well this year due to all the rain we got last ‘summer’ here in the UK.
