Taxonomic Comments
The variety treleasii (and by implication the typical var. schottii) are maintained by Kartesz in his 1999 synthesis; Kartesz (pers. comm. to Larry Morse, Dec 1999) notes that his treatment of this species follows Gentry's 1982 Agave work as "the most definitive work currently available."
