description
Vegetative characteristics
Agave nashii grows with single rosettes . Their gray-green, occasionally tinged purple, somewhat glaucous , narrowed elongated leaves are concave and banded across. The leaf blade is 30 to 50 inches long and 4 to 5 inches wide. The leaf margin is almost straight. There are 2 millimeter long peripheral teeth on it, 3 to 5 millimeters apart. The straight or slightly curved, pointed triangular marginal teeth occasionally almost or completely converge. The slightly purple-brown, smooth, slightly polished terminal mandrel is curved back or up towards the tip. It has a narrow, slot-like furrow up to the middle. The end mandrel is 0.3 to 15 millimeters long and descending.
Inflorescences and flowers
The "panicle" inflorescence reaches a length of 3.5 to 4 meters. The very loose partial inflorescences are on slender, outwardly curved branches in the upper third of the inflorescence. The flowers are about 35 millimeters long and stand on 5 to 10 millimeter long peduncles . Your tepals are light yellow, about 13 millimeters long and 3 millimeters wide. The open conical flower tube has a length of 3 millimeters. The somewhat fusiform to ovoid ovary is 20 millimeters long.
fruit
The elongated to oblong pear-shaped fruits are 2 to 2.5 inches long and 2 inches wide. They are slightly stalked and beaked.
Systematics and distribution
Agave nashii is widespread on the Inagua archipelago belonging to the Bahamas in dwarf shrubs and shrubbery on sandy-rocky soils.
