Abstract

The leaf anatomy is compared of 35 ppecies and one variety of Agave, three species of Furcraea, one species of Beschorneria and one species of Doryanrhes, four genera assigned to the tribe Agaveae by Hutchinson in his classification of the family Agavaceae. The genera can be readily differentiated by leaf anatomy. There are close similarities between Agave, Beschorneria and Furcraea, but Doryanthes differs widely from these genera. Sufficient anatomical differences exist to differentiate the Agave species examined.
