On this I agree with Matt. I am not in on this or turtle teeth which I believe are the same clone.

I collected seed of two forms of gigantensis (both were sold at the Nursery) one for was looking like something between this and sobria the other more conforming.

I also collected marmorata seed in more than a few locations. Puebla, Guerrero etc. I would even put forth that Agave valenziana from Jalisco is a really big form of this species (without proof of course!) There have been some strange forms of both species that have shown up.

Anyway one was selected and cloned. I can see how this could happen. Flowers don't lie usually unless you are talking haworthias! It is an interesting form.
