Echeveria amoena is a species of succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae, endemic to semi-arid areas of the Mexican states of Puebla, Tlaxcala, and Veracruz.
It is a herbaceous, perennial plant with a stem up to 8 cm long. It grows in the form of a compact rosette, commonly less than 5 cm in diameter, with fleshy, obovate-oblanceolate, full-margin and accumulated apex leaves.
The inflorescence is a simple, reddish zinc, 10 to 22.5 cm high, with several alternate ascending, succulent, green, reddish or pink-orange bracts. The corolla includes petals similar to bracts.[1]
Echeveria amoena was described in 1875 by Edward Morren, attributed to Louis de Smet, in Annales de Botanique et d'Horticulture.[2][3]
Echeveria amoena also forms the hybrid Echeveria subalpina × amoena , which is considered by some authors as the species E. meyraniana.
