Echeveria compressicaulis is a species of the genus Echeveria ( Echeveria ) in the thick-leaf family(Crassulaceae).
description
Echeveria compressicaulis grows with spreading to ascending and up to 20 centimeters long shoots. They reach about 9 mm in diameter and appear irregularly compressed and angular due to elongated, diamond-shaped and flattened surfaces around each leaf scar. The leaves, which are often scattered or somewhat rosette at the tip of the shoots, are elliptical-ovoid and almost pointed. The top of the leaves is irregularly shaped due to the imprints of the younger leaves. The brownish-green to purple-green leaves are about 4 to 4.8 inches long, 1.2 to 1.8 inches wide and 7 to 9 millimeters thick.
The all-round racemose inflorescence is 15 to 20 centimeters long and is compressed in its axis similar to the shoots. The flower stalk is rarely 3, usually 7 to 17 millimeters long. The spread sepals are 4.5 millimeters long. The urn-shaped to broadly tubular, orange-yellow corolla is 5-edged and 9 millimeters long. It is 10 millimeters wide at the base and 4 millimeters wide at the mouth. The edges of the petals are lighter in color.
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 84.
