description

Echeveria bifida reaches heights of growth of up to 6 centimeters or even a little more. The usually unbranched shoot is 1 to 1.5 centimeters in diameter. The leaf rosettes are 6 to 10, sometimes up to 20 centimeters in diameter. The lanceolate to rhombic, lanceolate leaves are pointed, have an attached tip and are green to purple in color. They are 4 to 10 inches long and 1 to 2.5 inches wide. The top of the sheet is concave to flat.

The single inflorescence is 3-branched and forms coils with 6 to 20 single flowers. The flower stalk becomes 1 to 4, sometimes up to 8 millimeters long. The expanded sepals are up to 15 millimeters long. They are half-stem-round to stem-round and spread out until suddenly bent back. The reddish or yellowish below and reddish above corolla is 12 to 17 millimeters long and has a diameter of 9 to 11 millimeters at the base and 4 millimeters at the throat.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 24.
