'plant used to make mescal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for agave that I've seen before include "Tropical plant" , "Succulent plant" , "Plant, source of sisal" , "source of tequila" , "A cactus" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
