Echeveria mondragoniana

A recently described Echeveria known only from a few records in the Sierra Sur of Oaxaca, near Santo Domingo Ozolotepec, at about 2700 m. Its climate is cool and highland, with a very dry winter and a wet summer. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so the conditions below come from the measured site and from high-elevation Oaxacan Echeveria in general.

Where it grows wild

Records come from a dirt road near Santo Domingo Ozolotepec in the Sierra Sur, a zone of pine-oak forest. No habitat notes survive, so a rocky slope or bank in open pine-oak forest, as is usual for highland Echeveria, is an assumption.

The one recorded elevation is 2706 m.
