''Agave angustifolia'' (Caribbean Agave) is a plant which is native to Mexico and Central America. It is used to make mezcal and also as an ornamental plant, particularly the cultivar 'Marginata'. The ''World Checklist of Selected Plant Families'' regards ''Agave angustifolia'' as an illegitimate synonym for ''Agave vivipara'' L.〔, search for "Agave vivipara"〕 Other sources maintain them as distinct species with non-overlapping native distributions (García-Mendoza and Fernando Chiang 2003). ''A. angustifolia'' has narrow, stiffly erect leaves with moderately-spaced spines, producing capsules, not bulibiferous; whereas ''A. vivipara'' is described as having shorter, recurved leaves with short-spaced spines and bulbiferous. ''A. vivipara'' is likely similar to ''A. karatto''. The ''A. vivipara'' of Miller (1768) and Smith et al. (2008) seem different, of a much smaller habit and narrower leaves, from the ''A. vivipara'' of Trelease (1913) and García-Mendoza and Fernando Chiang (2003), of a much larger habit.
