Gurcharan Ji,

Thanks for forwarding my earlier post from Muscat.

I think Agave angustifolia Haw. is possible as per keys and comparative images at Agave, but difficult to confirm without flowers.

As per Haines, A. angustifolia should have prickles like - https://cdn.plantatlas.org/img/specimens/USF/268928.jpg

So, I think it is A. sisalana, ("lucidcentral" has similar specimen, though without marginal prickles).

[Aarti S. Khale]

Thanks for the id Surajit Ji.

Hope to get it validated.

Regards,

Aarti

Certainly, Madam ji, I am still studying the genus, there can be many a wrong determination.

Thank you

Hi, Aarti ji,

May I request you to pl. post a high res. image.

To me leaves appear to be quite small.

Garg Ji,

Here it is...

Garg Ji,

I may add that comparatively, these were smaller plants.

Close to Agave angustifolia perhaps.

Yes, I would like to go with Agave angustifolia Haw.

Even if there is no prickle in one margin of the some of the leaves?

[Aarti S. Khale]

Thanks Garg Ji.

Good morning Madam ji

As per 'Checklist of cultivated plants in Oman', published in 2009 .....there is no Agave angustifolia Haw.!

Have a nice day....

[Aarti S. Khale]

Thanks Surajit Ji.

I am not aware of such a checklist.

This picture was clicked in 2011.

You too have a nice day.

Regards,

Aarti

[surajit koley]

Thank you Madam Ji

Since it is not A. sisalana, there are three probabilities -

1. It is a miniature version of A. americana L.
2. The authors missed to enlist A. angustifolia Haw. in the said checklist
3. A. angustifolia Haw. was imported by the time you went there

surajit koley

[Aarti S. Khale]

Thanks Surajit Ji. 

Yes, could be one of the probabilities.

Regards,

Aarti
