This very endangered
member of the Portulacaceae family was given this name by Hershkovitz in
1991.
It is found only on the Galapagos island San Cristóbal, living in a
small area on the slopes of a volcano. It grows in the well-drained
volcanic soil with some water and lots of sun. The flowers are white,
and it can be reproduced both by seeds and by cuttings.
