丝叶龙舌兰

龙舌兰属（学名：AgaveL.）是隶属于天门冬科的一属，约200种，多年生常绿开花植物。分布于美洲，喜温暖气候。茎短，叶多硬质，排列成莲座形，边缘锯齿状。开花时花序从生长点伸出，花后开花的莲座会枯萎死亡，但花序上及莲座底部的吸芽可作为母株生命的延续。外观类似阿福花科的芦荟，但两者的亲缘关系并不相近。

用途

本属植物经济价值较大，有些种类的纤维通称龙舌兰麻类，是世界著名的纤维植物之一；有些种类还含有甾体皂苷元，是生产甾体激素药物的重要原料；另一些种类栽培供观赏。叶内的纤维为硬质纤维之一，强韧耐腐，可编绳索和大缆，适为航海用。在我国引入的三种中，剑麻的品质最良，拉力大，次为龙舌兰。
