 Leaves obovate-spatulate, 5-7.5 cm. long, 18 mm. broad, dull apple-green, slightly glaucous, 

 the margins reddish ; inflorescence a lax equilateral raceme of 4-6 flowers ; pedicels becom- 

 ing erect, very short, the longest ones 4-5 mm. long ; sepals spreading ; corolla 12 mm.

14. Echeveria canaliculata Hook. Bot. Mag. pi. 4-986. 1857. 



Cotyledon canaliculata Baker, in Saund. Ref. Bot. 1 : sub/*/. 58, no. 9. 1869. 



Stem very thick, 10-13 cm. long, glabrous throughout. Leaves in a dense rosette at 

 the top of the stem, oblong or strap-shaped, 10-12 cm. long, thick, fleshy, tapering gradu- 

 ally to a slender tip; flowering branch, including the equilateral raceme, 3-5 dm. long; 

 flowers 10-20 ; sepals somewhat unequal, linear, spreading at right angles to the corolla or 

 even reflexed ; corolla bright-red without, about 25 mm. long, strongly 5-angled. 



As mentioned by Hooker this species is near E. Scheerii but, as he also states, the leaves are 

 quite different. The inflorescence also seems more simple. 



Type locality : Known only from garden specimens sent from the mountains of Real del 



Monte, Hidalgo, Mexico.
