Mr. Cameron correctly separates the fibre Agave from the tru 

 americana, but as to the specific name see Maguey (4), Mexican 

 Aloe (1), Tequila. 



Fibre produced from Agave (D) or (J) or perhaps from a Furcraea, 



18-19 Furcraea, as Mr. Hemsley has remarked, seems to replace Agave 

 in the S. E. of Central America ; in cultivation or as an escape it 

 extends to the Orinoco region, northern Brazil (with Guiana), Cuba 

 and the Antilles. There is much confusion as to species, but all 

 are best suited to a gravelly soil, with a fairly moist climate. See 

 Caluja, Mauritius Hemp, Piet, &c. 



We should think this covered Agave and certain Sromeliaceae 

 also. 



Cf . PeeMa Kalalunda. 



Du Tertre speaks of two spineless sorts of Pite, of which Sloan* 

 thought one might be his Aloe Tuccae foliis (Henequen of the 

 Islands) but see Piet also. 



An epiphyte belonging to the pineapple family. Cf . Caraguata IV. 

 See Hayti Hemp. 



The garden plant seen in Brazil by Martius was probably one or 

 other of tho varieties of A. americana Linn i.e., our (B). He 

 says that he never saw A. americana naturalized in S. America. 



Perhaps Agave (J), but there is great confusion in the vernacular 

 names recorded in most books from S. India. 



No doubt Agave (D), at least usually. See Peetha Kalalanda. 



See Pita (4) above.
