📄 Draft: "Evolution and Economic Significance of Agavaceae"

The Agavaceae family comprises approximately 25 genera and 640 species, ranging from small herbs to arborescent shrubs. Traditionally recognized as an independent family, modern molecular phylogenetics (APG III/IV) often nests it within the Asparagaceae. This paper explores the taxonomic history, physiological adaptations such as Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) , and the multi-billion dollar economic impact of its key genera.
