    Recently described (2022) clumping agave from Oaxaca with light green leaves that are whitish on the bottom. Formerly sold as "Magnifica" before its description as a species. Filed in the Micranthae, along with chiapensis, celsii/mitis and other species. Relatively widespread in cultivation, given the recent description, thanks in part to the distribution by Rare Palm Seeds under the old name.
