Agave \A*ga"ve\ ([.a]*g[=a]"v[-e]), prop. n. [L. Agave, prop.
name, fr. Gr. 'agayh`, fem. of 'agayo`s illustrious, noble.]
(Bot.)
A genus of plants (order {Amaryllidaceae}) of which the chief
species is the maguey or century plant ({Agave Americana}),
wrongly called Aloe. It takes from ten to seventy years,
according to climate, to attain maturity, when it produces a
gigantic flower stem, sometimes forty feet in height, and
perishes. The juice has purgative and diuretic properties.
The fermented juice is the {pulque} of the Mexicans;
distilled, it yields {mescal}. A strong thread and a tough
paper are made from the leaves, and the wood has many uses.
[1913 Webster]
