The dwarf varieties of the two are called Butterfly Agave, along with a couple of other dwarf species. I think the only way to tell the two apart is to know the "pedigree" of the plant and trust that the seller knows for sure when labeling. Agave experts and specialists may be able to distinguish between the two species by looking for subtle differences in characteristics.Aiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269929186047281311.post-78962366878402900422008-03-04T23:50:00.000-07:002008-03-04T23:50:00.000-07:00Dear Aiyana, I too have a similar Agave which I ha...Dear Aiyana, I too have a similar Agave which I have labelled as 'Agave Isthmensis' in my post-http://indigarden.blogspot.com/2007/09/captivating-cacti.html<BR/>Is there any way to differentiate the two?
