Agave beauleriana is an evergreen plant in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae. It is widely cultivated in many places, but has never been reported from the wild. The original reports say that the species is native to Mexico, but a more detailed location was not provided. The species has reportedly become naturalized in the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean. The leaves appear at the base of the plant, its flowers are funnel-shaped and yellow.[3]
