Echeveria purhepecha

A recently described Echeveria known from one small area at about 1900 m by Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro, Michoacan, in the volcanic Purepecha plateau near Paricutin. The climate is mild, with a dry, sunny spring and summer rains. Its narrow range means that its microhabitat is poorly documented.
