Description
Echeveria compressicaulis grows with spreading to ascending and up to 20 centimeters long shoots. They reach about 9 mm in diameter and appear irregularly squeezed and edged by elongated, diamond-shaped and flattened surfaces around each leaf scar. The often scattered or slightly rosettigen on the shoot tips standing leaves are elliptic-ovate and almost pointed. The top of the leaves is irregularly shaped by the prints of the younger leaves. The brownish green to purplish green leaves are about 4 to 4.8 inches long, 1.2 to 1.8 inches wide and 7 to 9 millimeters thick. The all-round racemose inflorescence is 15 to 20 inches long and is compressed in its axis similar to the shoots. The peduncle rarely becomes 3, usually 7 to 17 millimeters long. The spread sepals are 4.5 millimeters long. The urn-shaped to broad-rooted, orange-yellow corolla is 5-sided and becomes 9 millimeters long. It is 10 mm at the base and 4 mm wide at the mouth. The edges of the petals are lighter colored.The number of chromosomes is 2n = 84
