Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Agave chiapensis is a species of medium-sized agave native to Chiapas and Oaxaca in Mexico, but also found in Costa Rica and Guatemala. Its populations are small and isolated, and are at risk due to urban and agricultural expansion, especially in Chiapas. The plant has light green, ovate leaves with deltoid teeth on the margins, which can vary in size and spacing. The terminal spine of the leaf is 2-3.5 cm long. Its flower spike can reach up to 2 m in height and has yellow or green flowers with red or purple shading, giving it a darker appearance. The filaments are dark and extend far out of the flower, with 30-mm anthers on the ends.
