While the first Agaves of Arizona installment featured naturally occurring Agaves definitively placed in one subgenus (Agave) or the other (Littaea), our second installment continues with a venture into the somewhat more tenuous realm of naturally occurring hybrids and anthropogenic (literally, man-made) cultivars, in other words, the fun stuff! A peek back at Part I in vol. 89-6 might lend a sense of continuity, as reference is made to several taxa previously discussed. Please note that range maps exclusively represent sites we have personally visited and documented.
