Abstract

A new cultivar of Echeveria DC. (Crassulaceae), E. ‘African Sunset’ Gideon F.Sm. & Figueiredo, is described from cultivation in South Africa. It is a small, rosulate to short-stemmed plant of unknown echeveria parentage. Echeveria ‘African Sunset’ has striking, light olive green foliage and its flowers are uniformly bright crimson red. Plants very slowly branch from the base, with the branches remaining leaning to creeping. The boat-shaped leaves of this cultivar are borne densely in apical rosettes. The combination of these characters clearly separates this cultivar from other Echeveria cultivars.
