Echeveria bakeri

A Bolivian echeveria described by Kimnach in 1991 from between Aiquile and Mizque in Cochabamba. It forms rosettes of glaucous-white to reddish leaves 8–11 cm long and sends up branched flower stalks to 90 cm with pink to orange flowers. It comes from a dry inter-Andean valley, so treat it as a cool-night, dry-winter plant.

Where it grows wild

The Aiquile–Mizque area is a dry inter-Andean valley with scrub and rocky slopes; the exact microhabitat was not found and rocky slopes are assumed.

No recorded elevation; the Aiquile–Mizque valleys lie at roughly 2000–2300 m (estimate from the locality).
