Agave parviflora is a perennial plant that develops a rosette shape and typically reaches a height of up to 20 cm. Its leaves are dark green, pointed, and feature white markings along with white-threaded edges. The plant produces small pale yellow flowers that grow in racemes on stems that can extend to 1.5 m.

Agave consists of either perennial or monocarpic succulents that develop rosettes of typically stiff, thick, spiny leaves. The plants produce funnel-shaped flowers in racemes or panicles that often exceed the height of the rosettes.

Agave potatorum exhibits a range of variation in its coloration and growth habits, though it typically grows as a solitary plant or forms slow clusters. The foliage consists of a compact rosette that displays light green to blue-grey, glaucous leaves, each edged with reddish-brown spines and featuring a prominent twisted spine at the apex. This species is monocarpic, meaning it flowers and produces seeds only once it reaches maturity before it dies. The flowering spikes can reach heights of 3 to 5 meters, adorned with light green flowers accented by red hues and accompanied by red bracts.

Agave salmiana is a substantial evergreen succulent characterized by a stout stem and a rosette of robust, fleshy leaves that curve inward. These grey-green leaves can grow to lengths of approximately 2 meters and feature prominent dark brown teeth along their margins, with spines that can extend up to 10 centimeters at the tips. This species has a slow growth rate, ultimately achieving a width of about 4 meters when fully mature. Once it reaches maturity, it may send up a tall inflorescence with branches bearing clusters of small yellow flowers, following which the central rosette will die.

Agave schidigera is a perennial succulent that develops a rosette composed of slender, grey-green or occasionally yellow-green leaves. These leaves are characterized by coarse white hairs along the edges and brown spines that transition to grey at the tips. They are generally thin and pliable, often displaying markings from bud imprints. When fully grown, this species can send up a tall flowering spike, which may bear yellow-green or purple blooms; following this flowering event, the main rosette will die.
