description

Echeveria carminea forms sparsely branched shoots with a length of up to 70 centimeters and a diameter of about 1 centimeter. The plants are hairy with fine downy hairs. The individual leaf rosettes are 7 to 10 centimeters in diameter. The semi-rosette and wide, lanceolate to obovate leaves have a pointed tip and are up to 4 to 9 centimeters long and 2 to 4.5 centimeters wide. They are long or short tapering towards the leaf base, green in color and often reddish on the sometimes wavy edge.

The inflorescence usually forms individual grapes up to 30 centimeters in length, each with more than 8 individual flowers. The sepals are broadly spread out and bent back , almost stalk-round and 15 to 20 millimeters long. The broad urn-shaped and 5-edged corolla is 20 to 25 millimeters long and 15 to 18 millimeters in diameter. It is usually orange in color and yellow along the petals. A rare form from Ayutla has a completely yellow colored corolla.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 42.
