Echeveria

GLOBULIFLORA  Walther, 1959  (engl./ fr.)

THE PLANT DESCRIBED AS ECHEVERIA GLOBULIFLORA IS x CREMNERIA 'EXPATRIATA'.

 

Note :

1. Walther described E. globuliflora from a plant in the collection of Scott E. Haselton, without known origin, and added two photos taken by the latter to illustrate his description. There is no doubt whatsoever that this plant is xCremneria 'Expatriata' and not an Echeveria species ! This means that in fact Walther has described xC. 'Expatriata' !

There exists no Echeveria globuliflora.

 

2. Photos Fig. 144 and 145 in Pilbeam, The Genus Echeveria, 124, 2008, show anything but certainly do not correspond to the photos below.
 

3. Which plant the habitat photos on  crassulaceae.com show is not clear. Of course they do not show x Cremneria ‘Expatriata’ which - as is well known - is an artificial hybrid and not a wild plant.
