Echeveria chiclensis develops thick and spindle-shaped roots. The plants grow with branched shoots that reach a length of up to 5 centimeters. The ascending and lanceolate to narrow oblong, inverted lanceolate leaves are pointed and 5 to 15 centimeters long and 1 to 2.5 centimeters wide. The pointed leaves are deeply concave on the upper side, glabrous and green in color.

The inflorescence formed from grapes is sometimes two- to three-branched in the lower part and becomes 30 centimeters long or longer. The flower stalk becomes about 7 millimeters long. The sepals are formed ascending. The corolla is 10, sometimes up to 20 millimeters long and is yellowish pink in color. The number of chromosomes is around 120.

Distribution and systematics

Echeveria chiclensis is common in Peru in the Junín , Huánuco and Lima regions.

It was first described in 1887 as Cotyledon chiclensis by John Ball . Alwin Berger placed the species in 1930 in the genus Echeveria . The following synonyms exist : Cotyledon chiclensis Ball and Echeveria neglecta von Poellnitz .

A distinction is made between the following varieties :

  • Echeveria chiclensis var. Chiclensis
  • Echeveria chiclensis var. Backebergii (from Poellnitz) Pino ; In contrast to the stem variety, these plants form dense and strikingly long papillosome leaves and inflorescences.
