Century plant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (295 words)
The Century Plant or Maguey (Agave americana) is an agave originally from Mexico but cultivated worldwide.
The leaves also yield fibers, known as pita, which are suitable for making rope, matting, coarse cloth and are used for embroidery of leather in a technique known as piteado.
Both pulque and maguey fibre were important to the economy of pre-Columbian Mexico.
