We have created this page as a way to generate discussion and gather input on this subject in the hope that we can describe the various forms that are currently in cultivation in the United States. San Marcos Growers does not currently grow all of these plants although we have most in our collection. Howard Scott Gentry, in his landmark "Agaves of Continental North America", considered the whole group of the large variegated Agave as varieties of A. americana that were "inconsistent in their color patterns". He lumped them under the name Agave americana var. picta and was hesitant to ascribe individual names to them because he noted that "these plants appear as inconstant changeable forms from one generation to the next and are hardly worth varietal designations." In the end Gentry included a varietal "key",using designations made by Trelease, because he thought "the names convenient for agave fanciers, census takers, or others for distinguishing and discussing their collections and so on." This key included differences between var. marginata (with white or yellow margins), var. striata (with lined yellow or whitish), var. variegata (leaf dark green and yellow twisted), var. picta (leaf larger, all green or green with yellow margins, guttered and straight or curved).
