description

Vegetative characteristics

Agave anomala grows with green, elongated, lanceolate leaves that are fairly gradually pointed. Your leaf blade is 75 to 100 inches long and 7.5 inches wide. The leaf margin is curved. Marginal teeth are usually absent. Occasionally there are a few, very small marginal teeth towards the base. The reddish-brown, rather dull, conical-awl-shaped terminal spine, bent back like a claw, is smooth and 3 to 10 millimeters long. It runs down briefly and is pressed dorsally into the green tissue.

Inflorescences and flowers

It is not known about the inflorescence . It is also not known whether bulbils are formed. The 55 to 60 millimeters (rarely up to 70 millimeters) long flowers are about 10 millimeters long and slender or 40 millimeters long and significantly stronger flower stalks . Their tepals are yellow. The tips are 20 millimeters long and 4 to 5 millimeters wide. The conical flower tube has a length of 8 to 10 millimeters. The elongated spindle-shaped ovary is 30 to 40 millimeters long, significantly longer than the tepals.

fruit

The abnormal fruits are narrow pear-shaped, 40 millimeters long and 15 millimeters wide. They are slightly stalked and beaked.
