A rosette-forming Echeveria known from a small area of Oaxaca, southern Mexico, at about 1,150–1,400 m. Published detail on its habitat is scarce, so the profile builds on the measured climate (warm, with a dry season from November to April and summer rains) and on how Oaxacan Echeveria grow on rocky slopes.
