		The genus Furcraea is closely related to Agave, but it is a much smaller group: 20 species plus an additional variety are listed in a 2001 write-up on the genus.
		Furcraeas differ, however, in having pendulous flowers, which are always white or greenish-white.
		The large leaves of Furcraea selloa are green (edged with yellow in the case of our variegated specimen), sword-shaped, and armed with sharp teeth along the edges.

		It is hardy to about 25 degrees F. Although many sources list Furcraea roezlii as a synonym with Furcraea bedinghausii we have opted to continue listing this plant as Furcraea roezlii.
		In Mary and Gary Irish’s book “Agaves, Yuccas and Related Plants” Furcraea roezlii is described and said to differ from Furcraea bedinghausii because the later has shorter leaves and a shorter trunk.
		Urs Eggli, in "Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants: Monocotyledons" combines the two and further notes that noted Agave author Bernd Ullrich has suggested that Furcraea bedinghausii may be a subspecies of the closely related Furcraea longaeva (Ullrich B. El complejo Furcraea longaeva II.
