The former Urbinia species do appear to form a monophyletic group within this grouping. Molecular phylogenetic studies have repeatedly shown the genus not to be monophyletic: species of Echeveria cluster with species of Cremnophila, Graptopetalum, Pachyphytum, and Thompsonella as well as species of Sedum sect. As of June 2018, the genus consists of about 150 species, including genera such as Oliveranthus and Urbinia that have formerly been split off from Echeveria. de Candolle in 1828, and is named after the 18th century Mexican botanical artist Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy. Etymology Įcheveria is named for Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy, a botanical illustrator who contributed to Flora Mexicana. xami and some other butterfly species as well. Even more, these plants are integral to the oviposition process of C. For example, the butterfly Callophrys xami uses several species of Echeveria, such as Echevelia gibbiflora, for suitable host plants. Many species of Echeveria serve important environmental roles, such as those of host plants for butterflies. Often numerous offsets are produced, and are commonly known as " hen and chicks", which can also refer to other genera, such as Sempervivum, that are significantly different from Echeveria. Species are polycarpic, meaning that they may flower and set seed many times over the course of their lifetimes. Flowers on short stalks (cymes) arise from compact rosettes of succulent fleshy, often brightly coloured leaves. Echeveria is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae, native to semi-desert areas of Central America, Mexico and northwestern South America.
