this is indeed Agave titanota... should be moved to that page (just a 'tiny', somewhat mutant form of it)

Then shouldn't there be the synonyms of Agave 'Sierra Mixteca', Agave 'Felipe Otero," and Agave 'Sierra Mixteca FO-076' added to the entry for Agave titanota? http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/60674/

San Marcos has an interesting write up on it. http://www.smgrowers.com/info/RuthBancroftGdn3.asp and http://www.smgrowers.com/products/plants/plantdisplay.asp?plant_id=2796

And in more detail: http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/AGAVE/Agave_titanota/Agave_titanota_FO-075_Sierra_Mixteca/Agave_titanota_Fo-076_Sierra_mixteca.htm and http://www.cactus-art.biz/schede/AGAVE/Agave_titanota/Agave_titanota/Agave_titanota.htm where this site differentiates between the 2 forms with 2 entries. Really shows how different they are from each other.

"Photo of conspecific taxa, varieties, forms and cultivars of Agave titanota.
Agave titanota (Forma Rancho Tambor)
Agave titanota (Forma FO-076 Sierra mixteca)"

Seems to me there should almost be 2 entries since they are so different looking and then stipulated as probable variants of each other.

Also seems like this entry of Agave 'Sierra Mixteca FO-076' http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/92996/#b needs to be combined with Agave 'Sierra Mixteca' http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/172652/ at a minimum and with Agave titanota http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/60674/. if you are going to go for all 3 being the same.

those are synonyms and should be added to Agave titanota... or if someone wants to add them as a separate entry, then at least label the entry Agave titanota, var. " " or whatever. That way at least the viewers will know still it is Agave titanota.
