Re: Echeveria ID? uit Bolivië

Only 3 Bolivian Echeveria species have been published as yet, your plant does not correspond with any of these descriptions. So if it is really a plant with habitat data, it will probably be a yet undescribed species. It should best be distributed with the indication where it has been found.

Re: Echeveria ID? uit Bolivië

The person who distributed this echeveria told us it would be a new echeveria from near Cochabamba, Bolivia. He gave the name 'Bronze Flush' spec. nov.

He distributed 2 other echeveria from the same neighbourhood  but they did not flower.

De persoon die deze plant verspreidde vertelde dat het een nieuwe echeveria is uit de buurt van Cochabamba, Bolivië. Hij gaf ze de naam 'Bronze Flus' spec. nov.
Hij verdeelde nog 2 andere echeveria's uit dezelfde buurt maar die hebben tot op heden nog niet gebloeid.

Cochabamba ? I suggest Echeveria bakeri.

Re: Echeveria ID? uit Bolivië

I do not think it is  E. bakeri.

See the description:
http://www.crassulaceae.com/botanik/pfl … A&gnr=1610

"Plant usually a single rosette, entirely glabrous."  My plant is not glabrous and is offsetting easily.

Also the form and the colour of the flowers is different.

Sorry, I meant glaucous not glabrous. The leaves of my plant are not covered with powder at all.

Re: Echeveria ID? uit Bolivië

And who will describe it, Mieke ? And where will it be published ?
It is unlikely that the name "Bronze Flush" would be accepted as a species name. This is the kind of name given to cultivars.  Looking at your plant it does not seem very appropriate either ....

You can find more information:
http://forum.crassulaceae.ch/old/crassu … ml?id=2718

I became my plants from the same person at the same time.  At that time the echeverias looked very simular but they are not all the same species.

Re: Echeveria ID? uit Bolivië

Thank you Mieke. So let's wait and see if somebody will describe it ...
