Aeonium elongatum sp. nov. ined.
140 (200)cm, outstanding, in 2001 by Malkmus-Hussein, B. new discovered species. Related to Aeonium holochrysum from Tenerife and Aeonium manriqueorum from Gran Canaria. In contrast to these Aeonium elongatum makes rather thin (1,5cm ø), elongated stems up to 200cm in height, and narrow, long spathulate, glossy, fresh green, slightly ciliated leaves in a lax rosette. The bright yellow, flattened cylindrical inflorescence gains up to 25cm in height. A very small and restricted population of only few specimens in the lower parts of the laurel forest from the northern parts of La Gomera. Roque de Cano, south-western of Tunel de la Culata, 520m.
Seed is very scarce, only 2 packages are available. IX-XII.
