Agave species for ID SMP JAN(01) : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4)
Observed this Agave species with huge inflorescence in Kenya near Lake Nakuru.
Planted Ornamental one most probably.
Agave bracteosa?? Agave attenuata?? Or something else?
bracteosa as far i can remember has narrower strap like leaves and attenuata has the wider soft non-needly leaves...
were there any needles?
if yes it not but I think this does not have needles and hence attennuata and its flowering stalk is very typical of  a beloved plant for landscapin adges of gardens in southern california:
Agave attenuata
common name Foxtail agave 
No needles
then a. attennuata foxtail agave.
may be ... who may have also photographed it in Sanfrascisco perhaps? can tell us?
Seems to match with images of Agave attenuate
