Ochagavia elegans
About
Ochagavia elegans is a plant species in the genus Ochagavia, endemic to Robinson Crusoe Island in the Juan Fernández Islands of Chile. Distinguished by its caulescent (stem-forming) habit and thick, spiny leaves, Ochagavia elegans typically grows on steep rocky cliffs in xeric, high-insolation environments. The species forms large colonies through vegetative reproduction and is morphologically and geographically distinct from its mainland relatives, Ochagavia carnea and Ochagavia chamissonis.
