Echeveria teretifolia

Echeveria teretifolia is a rarely recorded Echeveria from the arid north-east of Mexico, named for its terete (pencil-round) leaves. The single measured site, near 1,300 m on the Coahuila-Durango border, is hot and very dry, with little rain in any month. Treat it as a true desert succulent: maximum light, a very mineral mix and sparse watering.
