Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on May 5, 2020 6:03 PM concerning plant:
Recently described Peruvian mountain Echeveria from the upper basin of the Sacred Valley (Vilcanota River) with green to reddish or purplish leaves and bicolored flowers (reddish orange at the base, yellowish above). Described in 2017. Solitary or clustering. Found at elevations of 3000m and above growing with lichens and moss. This plant may be the same as the poorly described E. peruviana. It is reputed to have traditional medicinal uses. It makes flowers similar to the recently described E. decumbens var. urubambensis, also from Peru, but it is not glaucous.
