Haworth compares with this his "F. Cantala" which is 

 usually regarded as the same as Agave Cantala, Roxburgh; 

 but both were ver}/ young pot-plants in the Chelsea garden, 

 and are altogether dubious.

 young for determmation; the leaf resembles that of young 

 plants o( F. macrophylla. The name occurs, but without 

 any description, at p. 11 in Todaro's paper on F. pubescens 

 (1879): It was proposed later by Sir Daniel Morris for Fur- 

 craea macrophylla, Hook. fil. but was not adopted, possibly 

 in view of its prior mention for the unpublished species. 

 The description in Bailey's Cyclopedia (article Furcraea by 

 Franceschi, Oliver and Wilh. Miller) furnished by Franceschi, 

 is very brief, but suggests macrophylla.
