Agave mitis is a plant species native to the Mexican states of Hidalgo, Tamaulipas and San Luis PotosÃ,[1] referred to as Agave celsii in many publications.[2]
Agave mitis forms rosettes of blue-green to yellow-green, fleshy leaves up to 60 cm (2 feet) long. The leaves have soft brown spines not nearly as imposing as those of other agaves.[3] [4] The flowering stalk is up to 2.5 m (8 feet) tall, with the flowers closely appressed against the stem forming a narrow column much more compact than most other species of the genus. Flowers are green, each up to 60 mm (2.4 inches) long.[5]
Because the species is widespread and grows in several protected areas, it is not considered by the IUCN to be threatened.
