also to differ from typical Shawii by its less robust form and by fewer, 

 more remote, and smaller marginal spines, characters which appear to

Agave Shawii sebastiana may also occur on the San Benito Islands. 

 Brandegee reported an Agave from the San Benito Islands (1900)

 spoke of two species of Agaves on San Benito Islands.

 limited to the basal node are diagnostic.
