“…The Striatae group proposed by Gentry (1982) originally consisted of only three species: A. striata , A. dasylirioides (both included in this study), and A. stricta (closely related to A. striata , see Scheinvar et al, 2017 and Figure 2 therein). Subsequently, other species that belong to this group have been described: A. petrophila ( García-Mendoza and Salas, 1998 ), A. gracielae ( Galván and Zamudio, 2013 ), A. cremnophila ( Starr et al, 2018 ), A. lexii ( García-Morales and García-Jiménez, 2019 ), A. rzedowskiana ( Carrillo-Reyes et al, 2003 ), A. tenuifolia ( Galván and Zamudio, 2013 ), A. albopilosa ( Cabral Cordero et al, 2007 ), and Agave kavandivi ( García-Mendoza and Chávez-Rendón, 2013 ), which conform a total of 11 species, are all endemic to Mexico. A. petrophila and A. rzedowskiana were analyzed in our study.…”
