He built on work of preceding Agave monographers such as Baker (1877), Berger (1915), and Trelease (1920), and grouped the species together based on common characteristics whether floral or vegetative. Because of this arrangement, his monograph has been the starting point for modern taxonomic work. Gentry spent several decades traveling throughout the United States, Mexico, and Central America, collecting and observing plants in habitat. However, access to many parts of Mexico was very limited in his time and as new roads open, more territory becomes accessible. This accessibility has resulted in 54 taxa either being described as new, or names placed in synonymy being reevaluated and sometimes being considered as valid species. Of those 54, ten are in section Heteracanthae (the section in which the subjects of this paper belong), and of those ten, five occur in Oaxaca. Oaxaca is a botanically rich and diverse state, and the genus Agave is well represented but a comprehensive review of all species within the state is lacking; I hope the first installment of such a review of the species of Agave in Oaxaca helps mitigate that lack.","PeriodicalId":111988,"journal":{"name":"Cactus and Succulent Journal","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115137948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It causes deformed, cauliflowerlike growth on leaves, stems and inflorescences, earning the condition the appropriate nickname of aloe cancer. Treatments such as physical removal or insecticides are fairly effective at keeping this pest under control. This new pest appears to be from a different mite family, the flat or false spider mites, Tenuipalpidae. Initial infestations can be difficult to detect. Plants appear superficially fine, perhaps looking a little dehydrated or with some leaf damage (Figs. 1 & 2). Closer inspection of the base of the leaf (sheath), where it clasps the stem often reveals dead or dying tissue with a characteristic red color (Figs. 3 & 4) which can be filled with the culprit which has been tentatively identified as Dolichotetranychus (Fig. 3). The mites are very small, and best observed with magnification (Figs. 5Ð 10). The red color may be the result of a build-up of their excrement, shed skins, or the plant’s biochemical response to injections of the mite’s salivary toxins. Quite how and where this problem started is not known. The Tenuipalpidae occur worldwide, and several are well-understood agricultural pests, such as the closely-related pineapple mite (Dolichotetranychus floridanus), red palm mite (Raoiella indica) and various lawn pests. One hypothesis suggests that the mites changed hosts from orchids to aloe in a greenhouse setting, and are in fact orchid sheath mites (D. 1email: zigur@hotmail.com 1.
