Default Agave ID

I have about 45 different Agaves and most of them I have identified, but there's always some that hard to figure out on your own. Here's a couple...

The first one I think is Agave americana striata?

The second is either titanota or FO 076? This is in an 8" pot.

The third I have no clue other than it was growing in the same pot as a potatorum that I purchased. Doesn't look like the potatorum to me and is in a 6" pot.

Thanks, Steve

I won't raise anybody's hackles by calling the second one Agave FO 76. (although that is what it should be called until the research is done in order to properly expand the description of Agave titanota include the green leaved plants.

The last one looks like Agave 'Kichijokan' which is probably a form of Agave isthmensis.

I knew that you wouldn't let that one go.

The third Agave is perhaps a little young to be sure of its identity, but A. potatorum does not seem out of the question to me.
