Agave wallisii

An obscure Agave named by Jacobi in 1871, presumably from a plant collected in Colombia by Gustav Wallis. There are no wild records, so its conditions are inferred from the few agaves that grow in Colombia's dry inter-Andean valleys: full sun, warmth and sharp drainage.

Where it grows wild

No wild records. Colombian agaves grow on dry, rocky slopes in inter-Andean valleys such as the Magdalena and Chicamocha, in open scrub.

Unknown; dry valleys in Colombia lie between about 300 and 2,000 m.
