Agave americana 'Cornelius', also known as Quasimoto Agave or Aurea, is a bizarre and beautiful monstrose cultivar of the century plant. Its leaves are severely distorted, twisted, and curled, with irregular yellow variegation down the center. Each rosette is a unique sculpture. It grows slower and smaller than the species, making it a prized container specimen for collectors of unusual succulents.
