The genus has now been combined with Agave so that the species that were once known exclusively as Manfreda are now under the Agave genus. It had approximately 28 species and a native to the Americas particularly Southwestern United States, Central America, and Mexico.

These species are characterized by tubular flowers which grow from stem nodes. The flowers are tubular, and they bloom on a tall raceme. Their color ranges from yellow, brown, and green to dull white. Also, the flowers are scented. These blooms are also characterized by colorful exerted stamens.
