The name Agave vivipara is widely misapplied to this and other species (see García-Mendoza & Chiang 2003). Agave vivipara is a very different species with comparatively short and wide recurved leaves with large tuberculate marginal teeth (see Hummelinck 1938: tab. II and III), and not widely cultivated.

Manfreda is polyphyletic and clearly derived from within the Agave lineage (Heyduk et al. 2016; Flores-Abreu et al. 2019), and thus the species of Manfreda are best placed in Agave.

Agave neglecta is classified as endangered, but here considered a synonym of A. weberi. This species is commonly cultivated in Florida and all wild populations appear to be the result of anthropogenic activity (Franck 2012).
