The difference between stone lotus and snow lotus

1. Leaf Difference

The basal leaves of Echeveria are rosette-shaped, and the leaves are spoon-shaped and oblong, about 3.5 to 6 cm long and 1 to 1.5 cm wide. The stem leaves are alternate, broadly oblanceolate or obovate, 2.5 to 3 cm long and 4 to 10 mm wide. The tip gradually becomes pointed.

The leaves of snow lotus are obovate, broad and thick, with a blunt or slightly pointed tip. The leaves are about 5 to 8 cm long, 3 to 4.5 cm wide, and 0.3 to 0.8 cm thick. The ventral surface of the leaves is flat or slightly concave, and the leaves are gray-green.

2. Flower Differences

The inflorescence of Echeveria is conical or nearly umbel-shaped, with 5 petals, which are red, lanceolate or ovate.

The inflorescence of snow lotus can be up to 6 to 10 cm long, with 9 to 17 flowers on each inflorescence.
