Echeveria brachetii

A little-known Oaxacan Echeveria described in 2009 by Reyes and González. GBIF holds only the type-area records from the road between San Pedro Yolox and San Juan Quiotepec in the Sierra Juárez at about 2200 m. Care here is inferred from that site's climate and from related montane Oaxacan species.
