A Lanzarote Succulent

Aeonium lancerottense is a succulent subshrub in the Crassulaceae family, part of the Aeonium genus of evergreen succulents known for fleshy leaves gathered into rosettes. Like its relatives, it carries racemes or panicles of small, star-shaped flowers with many narrow petals.

Native to Lanzarote

This species is native to the Canary Islands, found specifically in the north and central parts of Lanzarote. It grows there as a succulent subshrub within the subtropical biome, and its story is bound to that island's dry volcanic landscape.

Rosettes and Star Flowers

As with other Aeoniums, this plant holds its fleshy leaves in terminal rosettes at the ends of its shoots, giving it a shrubby, sculptural habit. Its flowers appear in racemes or panicles, each small bloom star-shaped with numerous slender petals.
