transitive law of hybridization

There are hybrids between Manfreda and Agave, Manfreda and Polianthes
and hybrids between the three:

I suspect that Agave will successfully cross with Polianthes given the right
species both flowering at the same time (can be difficult to achieve).

I assume such a law doesn't really exist. However, I just realized
something.
There's "lots" of hybrids between Manfreda and Agave.
And there's also hybrids between Manfreda and Polianthes.
So are there any hybrids between Agave and Polianthes?
Google seems to say that Manfreda and Polianthes used to be lumped
into Agave. But I am talking about Polianthes and Agave as they exist
today. Are there hybrids between the two? (Like P. tuberosa and A.
americana, or whatever)
