Cultivation

Grouped as a cactus or succulent by the genus Copiapoa, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum, and no habitat climate is derived yet; no cold floor is given, and no prose comes from the table.

Nothing derived: no habitat climate for this species, and the archetype table has no figure for its genus or family.

Climate across the habitat

No habitat climate can be derived: Only 2 distinct land cells of the climate grid hold an in-range record; three are needed for an envelope.

Natural habitat

Native range as published by WCVP; the marker is where the records are densest and decides nothing.

Map marker-26.3, -70.65 · in the densest population, 16 records (100% of those in range)

Evidence usedThe map marker rests on all 16 georeferenced records inside the native range; the map shows only the 5 openly licensed ones, which alone would put the marker 7 km away. No climate envelope is derived for this species. 14 in-range records are placed to worse than 10 km and stay on the map but off the climate.
