Echeveria ochoae

A Peruvian Echeveria described by Pino and Galiano in 2017. Little about it is published beyond the original description, and no georeferenced wild records exist, so its habitat and climate here are estimated from other Andean Echeveria. Treat it as a bright, cool-to-mild, fast-draining montane succulent.

Where it grows wild

Its exact habitat was not available to us. Andean Echeveria in Peru usually grow on rocks, cliffs and stony slopes in inter-Andean valleys and on mountain slopes. This is an inference from the genus.

No elevation data. Peruvian Echeveria mostly grow at about 1,500–3,500 m.
