Echeveria longiflora

A Mexican Echeveria described by Walther in 1959 from a cultivated plant believed to come from Guerrero. Wild records are few: the Taxco–Ixcateopan area of Guerrero, where it grows on dead trunks and rocks in tropical deciduous forest, and Cerro Malintzin in Oaxaca at 2749 m. It is named for its long flowers.

Where it grows wild

Recorded at about 1670 m in Guerrero and 2749 m in Oaxaca.
