List by Plants' Species A - Z

Aeonium calderense sp. nov. ined. Exclusive

100cm, only in 2001 this plant was recognized by Malkmus-Hussein, B. as a distinct species. Apparently it is native of the upper part of Barranco de las Angustias and especially the southern lower parts of the Caldera de Taburiente of La Palma at between 930 to 1.300m. This species is rather widespread in this area and thus has probably not been recognized as a distinct species, but has surely been included to Aeonium davidbramwellii from which it greatly differs in various aspects. In contrast to the latter its leaves are oblong-spathulate, yellowish green with a red shade and a layer of white wax. Unlike Aeonium davidbramwellii these plants branch freely and gain up to 100cm. Rosettes are slightly smaller, up to 20cm ø. Its inflorescence is of a perfectly cylindrical shape (in Aeonium davidbramwellii it has always a flattened conical shape) and reaches up to 40cm in height, flowers have not been observed so far. It is growing in completely open and sun exposed rocky soils. In general Aeonium davidbramwellii prefers rather partially shaded positions.

Aeonium canariense

50cm ø, endemic to the upper succulent shrub on either E and W parts of Tenerife, where it grows in lava soil in full sun. It makes large, light green, cup shaped, highly succulent rosettes of up to 50cm, and a yellowish green inflorescence from May to July. Usually it produces some offsets before flowering, however it is easily propagated by seeds and fast growing. For any well drained, rather rocky soil (e.g. crushed lava) in full sun. Faro de Anaga, close to the small village of Chamorga, at some 580m.

Aeonium simsii

10cm ø, by first sight one might think that Aeonium simsii belongs to the family of Sempervivum, as this species has dense, perfectly round rosettes with plenty of offsets as well. But the bright yellow flowers, which appear in June/July reveal that it is indeed an Aeonium. Leaves' margins are densely ciliated as in Aeonium smithii. Aeonium simsii is one of the few species in this genus which cannot be convinced to grow on in summer and to have a rest in winter, thus it requires a very sunny location and careful watering in winter. Rosettes will close completely in summer and unfold in autumn. Plants are endemic to the central mountain areas of Gran Canaria. Cruz de Tejeda (at some 1.200 m).

Aeonium tabuliforme (Saucer Giant Houseleek)

20 (30)cm ø, Saucer Giant Houseleek from the North coastal cliffs of Tenerife, where it usually grows completely flattened to the ground. Under very dry conditions the usually bright green leaves might turn yellowish red. The very dense rosette might gain up to 30 cm in diameter and the green yellowish inflorescence, which appears in June, reaches up to 50cm in height! As plants will die down after flowering they can only be propagated generatively or by leaf cuttings, which have to be taken carefully from the central part of the rosette. Barranco de Los Silos in the Northwest of Tenerife (600m).

Aichryson villosum (subalpine form) Exclusive

10cm, smaller form of the species described above, which probably merits a rank of a subspecies (Aichryson villosum ssp. ruivoense pro ssp. nov.), as it differs in various aspects from the common species. It grows on vertical cliffs at subalpine altitudes on the highest elevations on Madeira (e.g. below Pico Ruivo at some 1.720m). In contrast to the species it has smaller, more succulent leaves and a lower inflorescence which gains little more than 10cm in height and diameter. Its leaves are densely pubescent and show a nice reddish tinge under sunny conditions. It usually grows as a biannual, but it is easily propagated by seeds. This subspecies has a frost resistance down to -7°C/20°F for a short period. An ideal plant for the unheated greenhouse or the cool wintergarden.

Fruits are used freshed and dried. Under appropriate conditions with sufficient light and warmth it may be grown as a perennial. VI-IX.
