Echeveria cante

Echeveria cante is a very beautiful species related with Echeveria subrigida, which occurs a considerable distance away to the south and the southeast. It differs from E. subrigida in its greater number of farinose rather than glaucous to pruinose leaves, which are narrower and thicker as well as generally longer than those of E. subrigida and the flowers are distinctly different. It was only recently named though the plant has long been in cultivation misnamed as a form of Echeveria subrigida or under the name Echeveria rosei. The new name name honors the Cante Institute and Botanic Garden in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico
