Echeveria nebularum

A species from the cloud-forest mountains of northern Oaxaca, described by Moran and Kimnach in 2004. Its name means 'of the clouds'. The measured sites are very wet and misty from May to November. It wants cooler, moister conditions than most Echeveria, with the fast drainage the genus always needs.

Where it grows wild

It grows in the Sierra Norte and Sierra Juárez region of Oaxaca at cloud-forest elevations. Echeveria in such habitats usually grow on moist rock faces, cliffs and banks, or among mosses, in bright but often misty light. This is inferred from the name, the region and the measured climate.

Recorded from 1,815 to 2,880 m, with a median of 2,550 m (4 records).
