PLATE 43. 
AGAVE ANTILLARUM (p. 31). 
[Plates 41 and 42 also.] 
Figure 1. A panicle fragment showing the moderately long pedicels and closely clustered 
flowers. Photographed by permission in the United States National Herbarium. Natural 
size. It is uncertain whether the leaf margin at top, with heavy triangular prickles from 
rounded bases, belongs with these flowers and thus indicates a greater range in prickle variation 
than is otherwise known, or with those figured elsewhere (pl. 64) as Agave intermixta. 
Figure 2. Panicle fragments with two elongated capsules and eight seeds. From her- 
barium material (Parry, Wright, and Brummel). Natural size.
