Costa Rica's Long Lost Agave

Agave wercklei is endemic to Costa Rica, growing on calcareous shale In the northwest part of the country in the province of Guanacaste. The habitat here somewhat resembles similar habitat of the dry tropical forests of southern Mexico, and indeed many of the same species occur here, but this Agave only grows within the geopolitical boundaries of Costa Rica with Marshallocereus aragonii and Furcraea cabuya. Your contributions support this content. It sounds cliché but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or rockfalls, bee-stings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the public, accompanied by a small dose of profanity and crude humor. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good. Plants make people feel good. Plants quell homicidal (and suicidal!) thoughts.
