Definition
A genus of large succulent plants native to tropical America, similar to agave, with thick leaves and tall flower spikes.
Etymology
Named after a German botanist in the 18th century; the genus was formally established in botanical nomenclature to classify these New World plants that resemble but are distinct from agaves.
Kelly Says
Furcraeas were once so valued for fiber production that they were transported across the world, but they're now overshadowed by their cousin the agave—yet agave plants actually produce less fiber per plant than furcraeas do!
