Furcraea
Mill. 1768

Etymology: In honor of Antoine de Furcray, an 18th-century French naturalist.
Place of Origin: Tropical regions of America.

Plant formed by a large rosette similar to that of an agave, although they typically develop a clearly defined stem that reaches several meters in height. It produces a single flowering event in the form of a floral stalk that can grow up to 10m tall, where seeds and bulbils are produced. They are drought-resistant and cultivated as ornamentals or for fiber production.
