New species of Echeveria (Crassulaceae) from Tamaulipas, Mexico

Abstract

Echeveria tamaulipana (Crassulaceae) is described and proposed as a new species. The new species is similar to those of the series Angulatae, especially E. bifida, E. walpoleana and E. strictiflora, with which it is compared because of their similarity in morphology. Its geographical distribution is restricted to canyons near Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas.
