Maguey

n. type of Philippine plant whose fibers are used to make twine; type of Mexican plant used to make pulque from which a liquor is made

The Century Plant or Maguey (Agave americana) is an agave originally from Mexico but cultivated worldwide. It has a spreading rosette (about 4 m wide) of gray-green leaves up to 2 meters (6 ft.) long, each with a spiny margin and a heavy spike at the tip. Its common name derives from its habit of only occasionally flowering, but when it does, the spike with a cyme of big yellow flowers, may reach up to 8 meters (25 ft.) in height. The plant dies after flowering. The average life-span is around 25 years.
