Aeonium nobile
Aeonium tabuliforme (flat-topped aeonium, saucer plant) syn. A. bertelothianum, Sempervivum complanatum, is a species ofsucculent plant in the family Crassulaceae, native to the Canary Islands. A mass of fleshy, hairy, bright green leaves in flatrosettes, is produced on short unbranched stems, often on vertical surfaces.The specific epithet tabuliforme means "flat".This plant, which may be either biennial or perennial, is grown under glass in temperate regions. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Aeonium undulatum, a succulent, evergreen subshrub, is one of the larger species of aeonium with the rosette often over a metre from the ground on a single stem. Other rosettes do not branch off this stem (normally) but grow from the bottom, unlike most aeoniums. The plant is monocarpic so the flowering stem will die when it flowers which is normally after about 5 years.
The specific epithet undulatum comes from the Latin unda, meaning "wave" and refers to the wavy leaves. Synonymsinclude Sempervivum undulatum and Sempervivum youngianum. The common name "saucer plant" is applied to this and other plants of a similar habit.In temperate regions this plant is grown under glass. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
