This is said to be a dwarf form of A. marmorata , but with its round, flat leaves spreading out, it looks quite unique—resembling neither Agave marmorata nor any typical agave. The name 'Papilio' means 'swallowtail butterfly' and 'platanoides' means 'like a plane tree,' so it's a beautiful name inspired by the way its flat leaves resemble a butterfly or a maple leaf. This is a summer-growing species; in winter, water just once every 1–2 months. It also seems to have some tolerance for freezing temperatures.
