Is this really Agave americana 'Variegata'? All the other images here and on various websites online show a different look plus teeth.

This is not like any Agave americana I have ever seen... not even convinced it is an Agave... can you show a larger pic of it? maybe it's a form of Agave sisilana.

Although the plant looks correct, the variegation is on the outside of the leaf. The images of Agave sisalana 'Variegated' http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/62795/ show variegation on the interior of the leaf like a medio-picta. Thoughts?

Either way, it fits Agave sisilana in form and shape. It is not Agave americana, a wide, thick, spiney-leaved plant.

So, palmbob, with the images currently in A. sisilana 'Variegata' - they are all with the variegation in the centre of the leaf. Should a new entry be made for 'Medio-picta' to move all the images over before this one is moved to 'Variegata'?

Well, I would say yes, only I cannot be 100% sure the above plant is Agave sisilana... but it sure looks like it.
