Agave coetocapnia is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to Mexico. It was first described in 1824 as Bravoa geminiflora. It has been known by several other scientific names, including, in whole or part, Polianthes geminiflora. It has been cultivated as an ornamental plant.
Agave coetocapnia (under several of its synonyms) has been cultivated as an ornamental bulbous plant since before 1853, when it was described as a "beautiful plant", flowering in July, and easy to cultivate in a warm greenhouse in England. It has been grown outside in North Carolina where it has survived temperatures down to about −14 °C (6 °F). It is reported to winter successfully outside in a warm position in southern England. It is recommended that it be kept dry in winter.
Agave coetocapnia is native to central Mexico, northeastern Mexico and southwestern Mexico. The original description described its habitat only as "montibus Micciacanis" ('in Mexican mountains'). It has been described as growing in "winter-dry oak forests".
