location
Federal Highway MX 57 km 140, 7.1 miles north of junction west to Las Potrancas at Santa Teresa 14.9 miles south of junction with MX 53 (Mcp. Castanos, Coahuila, Mexico)family
Asparagaceae
plant community Chihuahuan Desert Larrea-Prosopis-Yucca scrub at 3230' (985m)notes plant on silty bolson flats, typically dying at anthesis. Long known as A. scabra for rough scabrous leaves, a confused/misidentified type specimen and subsequent application of an illegitimate name (A. asperrima) left this common Chihuahuan Desert agave of northeastern Mexico as A. parryi v. parryi under nomenclature rules. Hopefully further study will provide at least separate varietal/sub-species status, if not re-designation at species level, for this clearly distinctive race.keywords: CDR, Chihuahuan Desert
