| 説明 | The Greeks call this plant φυτό αθάνατος - athanatos, meaning eternal. I knew it as an agave plant, from the Italian, and asked a taxi driver who seemed surprised when I knew what it meant. The benefits of a wayward education in church music ...I found this elsewhere: CENTURY PLANT is an evergreen succulent perennial. Native to Middle America (particularly eastern Mexico) it has yellowish-green flowers.It is also known as Abècèdaire (French), Agave (English, German, Swedish), Agáve americká (Czech, Slovak), Agave d’Amerique (French), Agavo amerika (Esperanto), Alagai (Tamil), Almindelig Agave (Danish), Aloe, American agave, American aloe, American century, Amerikanische Agave (German), Athánatos (Greek), Common century plant, Flowering aloe, Hundraaorig Aloe (Swedish), Jättiagaave (Finnish), Jungli anaras (Bengali), Kantala (Hindi, Sanskrit), Ketki (Gujarati), Kittanara (Telugu), Maguey, Mexican soap plant, Piteira (Portuguese), Pulque, and Spiked aloe, and Wiliyatikaitalu (Punjabi).The rosette of leaves dies with the flower and suckers are usually left at the base from which a new rosette can form.Greenish-tinged bittersweet-tasting sap fills the centre of mature young plants (at least 6-8 years old). This can be tapped from the fleshy leaf bases over a period of two or more months. The plant is said to be able to give about four pints of sap a week and yield in all as much as 220 gallons.Century plant is similar in appearance to species in the Aloe genus which are of a different family and, unlike century plant, flower for most of every year.Americana means ‘of or from America (North or South)’. |
