Agave americana, also known as century plant, maguey, or American aloe, is a flowering plant in the Asparagaceae family. It is native to Mexico and Texas, but has been naturalized in many other regions. Despite its common name, it is not related to aloe. The plant has a lifespan of 10-30 years and can grow up to 8-9 meters tall. It is often cultivated as an ornamental plant and is popular in drought-tolerant gardens. The plant produces a sweet liquid called aguamiel, which can be fermented to make pulque, a traditional alcoholic drink. The leaves of the plant can also be used to make fibers for rope and cloth. In traditional medicine, it is used to treat various ailments, but its effectiveness and safety have not been fully studied. The plant has also been used in heraldry and art, including being pulped to make paper by the Aztecs.
