Echeveria pinetorum Rose

Echeveria pinetorum Rose, sp. nov
Acaulescent, forming very dense rosettes of leaves. Leaves bright-green, the margins tinged with red, narrowly oblanceolate, 2-4 cm. long, 1-1.5 cm. broad, rounded beneath, acute and mucronate-tipped ; flowering stem, including the inflorescence, 1-2.5 dm. long, bearing closely set leaves 2-3 cm. long, below, and small ovate ones above ; inflorescence an open-flowered equilateral raceme or spike ; flowers subsessile ; sepals ovate, acute, somewhat unequal ; corolla 8-10 mm. long, its lobes acute.
Collected by EA. Goldman in pine woods 20 miles southeast of Teopisca, Chiapas, Mexico, May 8, 1904 {no. 1013) flowered in Washington, March, 1905.
The imperfection of the original material of this species led to its association with E. Byrnesii. The recent flowering of some of the plants, which has shown that its true relationship is rather with E. sessiliflora, occurred in.time to correct the description, but too late to alter the arrangement of the species.
