Echeveria purpusorum f. crestata (Crested)

The crested shape of this succulent presents the typical fan arrangement, compact and with a restricted expansion margin, which makes each specimen unique and, as a consequence, beloved by collectors. In its normal form it is a small and compact succulent with a rosette shape, either solitary or branched at the base. It has short, turgid and thick oval-shaped leaves that taper toward the ends culminating in an accentuated tip. Its epidermis is tinted with an intense olive green, and maculated in small irregular red-brownish spots, with clear, translucent, purple edges (hence the name “purpusorum”).
