It was sold as A. Macroacantha which I don't believe

Browsing through hundreds of photos on the Internet has failed to make me any the wiser as to it's ID.
Does anyone recognize this one?

After more investigation, it appears that it actually IS an A. macroacantha form viridis which accounts for the yellowish tint

Gee S. at agaveville tells me that it is Agave datylio and the photos on Internet seem right on. I am delighted that it isn't yet another dup.

Thanks
