location
Federal Highway MX 57(libre) km 31, 0.1 miles south of road west to Las Encinas, 4.9 miles north of Presa Palo Blanca, 4.4 miles south of road west to San Antonio de Acatita, (Mcp Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico)family
Asparagaceae
plant community Chihuahuan Desert scrub at 4020' (1225 m)notes roadside on flat bolson plain of calcareous alluvial silts and gravel alluvium. 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: Chihuahuan Desert, CDR
