Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the genus and species of the novel variety disclosed herein isEcheveria lilacinaxagavoides.

Variety denomination: The inventive variety ofEcheveriahybrid disclosed herein has been given the variety denomination ‘AMIECH2105’.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Parentage: ‘AMIECH2105’ is an interspecific hybrid seedling selection resulting from the controlled pollination of an unnamedEcheveria lilacinaplant (not patented), the seed parent, withEcheveria agavoides‘Ebony’ (not patented), the pollen parent. The crossing was made by the inventor in the spring of 2017 at a commercial greenhouse in Heerhugowaard, the Netherlands. In summer of 2019, one seedling was observed which exhibited unique growth and foliage characteristics. The seedling was isolated for further evaluation in order to confirm the distinctness and stability of the characteristics first observed. Upon confirmation of distinctness and stability, ‘AMIECH2105’ was selected for commercialization in autumn of 2019.

Asexual Reproduction: Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘AMIECH2105’, by way of rooting leaf cuttings, was first initiated in the spring of 2020 at the inventor's commercial greenhouse in Heerhugowaard, the Netherlands. Through three subsequent generations, the unique features of this cultivar have proven to be stable and true to type.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The cultivar ‘AMIECH2105’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘AMIECH2105’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘AMIECH2105’ as a new and distinctEcheveriahybrid cultivar:1. ‘AMIECH2105’ exhibits an abundance of succulent foliage that is somewhat loosely arranged in a basal rosette with a flattened globular to globular profile; and2. ‘AMIECH2105’ exhibits basal rosette which eventually forms a short, unbranched stem with age; and3. ‘AMIECH2105’ exhibits thick, relatively short oblanceolate foliage that is slightly concaved and curled upward; and4. ‘AMIECH2105’ exhibits strongly glaucous foliage that is heavily covered with a layer of greyed-green to blue-green epicuticular wax which gives the foliage a pale blue-grey to blue-green general appearance.
