Aspecies characteristic of the Central Valleys of Oaxaca. Found at elevations between approximately 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) and 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). It forms part of the thorn-scrub and tropical dry forestsinvalleys and slopesinsoils derived from volcanic rocks and limestones. In some areas, S. treleasei becomes the dominant component in the plant associations called pitayeras or tunillales by local people. There, it is commonly associated with several species of Bursera, Ceiba aesculifolia, Vachellia cochlyacantha, Vachellia acatlensis, Mimosa spp., Senna spp., Parkinsonia praecox, Ipomoea arborescens, Ipomoea murucoides, Agave americana, Agave potatorum, Agave karwinski, and several species of columnar cacti such as Lophocereus marginatus, Myrtillocactus geometrizans, and Myrtillocactus schenckii, among others.[3]
