Rosettes usuali single but as you can see on photo occ. ofsetting (dichot) Has to be kept like in nature (vertical) on the rockwalls. Dos...Read Moren't like to have water on the rosette.Leaves very dense forming a roset with diam upto 45cm. Leaves more or less spathulate, the margins with long cilia.

Indeed Crasulady 2 the Aeonium does not belong to the Sempervivum but to the Crassulaceae. It is a fact they belonged in the beginning of the 1900 (1946) to the Semperv. See An account of the Sempervivum group by L.R. Praeger. Till now it is still the best documentation you can find. If someone know a more recent book on the genus Aeonium, Monanthes, Greenovia and Aichryson, that they let me know so that I can try to obtain it here in Belgium. I know there are a lot of new speciesn var. and formas so I will need new documentation to keep me informed on this genusses.

Crasulady, your friend who tries to hybridisate the tabuliforme with any other specie to obtain a black (marron) tabu, did he allready tryed with a dark A. holochrysum?? or a wel disigned A. ciliatum or rubroliniatum?? If he should be interested I can send him young plants from Tenerife. I am twice a year on Tenerife (april, may and the month of october). I am making a flora inventory for account of the local Government, you see.
