The meaning of the name Pachyphytum oviferum is thick plant bearing eggs.

It comes from Mexico, in the rocky cliffs of the state of San Luis Potosi at 1200 meters altitude.

The leaves are succulent and egg-shaped, which gave its name to the species.

Leaves are pale blue-green to bluish-purple, looking like a sugared almond confection.

[1] The inflorescence consists of a 30 cm stem bearing scarlet, bell-shaped flowers.
