Echeveria stolonifera

Echeveria stolonifera is a 19th-century name, published by Otto in 1873 from a garden plant, which Kew places in southwestern Mexico. GBIF holds only herbarium and garden specimens from Europe, with no wild records. As its name suggests, it spreads by stolons. Grow it like a typical Mexican highland Echeveria.

Where it grows wild

No wild habitat is documented. Kew's southwestern Mexico region is mostly highland pine–oak country, where Echeveria grow on rocky slopes.

No elevation data exist. The regional climate used below is typical of about 1500–2200 m.
