Blooms early in July and matures fruit in September 
(Tourney). It })r()pagates itself by offsets and sometimes 
also by suckers. A. Palnieri varies greatly in size, and 
proportional length, breadth, and thickness of leaves. 
Whether these differences remain con.stant and are correl- 
ated with others entitling them to varietal distinction I 
have not been able to determine. Quite young plants in the 
Huachuca Mountains are said to be difficult to <ii3tinguish 
from those of A. applanata Huachucensis, and many very 
short-leave<l pl.ints grow th<'re, but the mature plants (.f
