Re: Name of Agave like plant

I planted my little florets or rosettes in pots last October and left them in a protected area outdoors all winter.  They'e now about 12 cm tall.  It was a mild winter with only one short frost, otherwise they probably wouldn't have fared as well.

I have F bedinghausii in a pot, it goes into a cold greenhouse in the winter, thus has withstood -3/4°C but when very dry.  The Mary & Gary Irish book suggests that all Furcreas are tender but I shall have to try mine outside soon as it's outgrowing the pot, full sun and perfect drainage I guess.

Furcrea something?  Very similar to Agaves, usually with swollen stem bases.

Last Fall, on a visit to Serre de la Madonne on the Riviera, I was given some tiny rosettes produced in large quantities by an Agave like succulent.  They are growing well in pots here now, but the name, which I'd written in pencil on the paper bag containing them is no longer readable.  The first 3 letters look like FUZ, though that's only a guess.  Any ideas?
