Vegetative characteristics
Agave petiolata grows with stem-forming rosettes, the stem of which is no longer than 1 meter and which probably sprout. Your blue glauken , lanceolate, gradually tapering leaves are quite suddenly contracted at its base to a long neck. The leaf blade is about 110 inches long and 17 inches wide. The leaf margin is almost straight. There are 5 millimeter long peripheral teeth on it, which are 15 to 30 millimeters (rarely up to 50 millimeters) apart. The narrow triangular, straight or differently curved marginal teeth arise from a 5 to 10 millimeter wide, semicircular base and are occasionally raised on abrupt green protrusions. The chestnut-brown, needle-shaped terminal mandrel , smooth towards its tip, polished and grainy roughened on the underside, is slightly curved back and forth. It is grooved round up to its center or beyond. The end mandrel is 25 to 60 millimeters long and runs down short.
