Echeveria macrantha

Echeveria macrantha is a Guatemalan species known essentially from the 1939 collections of Standley and Steyermark on Montaña Miramundo in Jalapa, at about 2,100 m. Little else is published; the site is a cool, humid highland with a long wet season, so it wants bright light, mild temperatures and more summer water than Mexican desert-edge species.

Where it grows wild

Type collections came from Montaña Miramundo between Miramundo and Buena Vista, between Jalapa and Lago Ayarza. The microhabitat is not recorded; the area is montane pine-oak and cloud forest, where Echeveria usually grow on rocks and banks in openings.

The collections are labelled about 2,100 m.
