H. Uhl 1992, 1995). Uhl concluded that the ancestral number was probably about x = 34, with a descending series to n = 12, and that plants with higher numbers are mostly autoploid. He found Echeveria to be part of a giant comparium that also includes Graptopetalum, Lenophyllum, Pachyphytum, Villadia, and others, as well as many Mexican species of Sedum, but not Dudleya.</p> |tables= |references= }}<!-- --><!-- -->{{#Taxon: name=Echeveria |author=Reid V.
