This variable species was one of a handful formerly known as Greenovia, which were merged with Aeonium based on DNA analysis. Like the others in this group, its floral glands do not produce nectar. It is found on four of the Canary Islands. Leaves are glaucous blue-green. Rosettes are solitary or more often branching in cultivation, reaching 3-10 inches wide maximum. Rosettes are cup-shaped and close in on themselves during drought and summer. Seasonal differences in shape can be quite dramatic. Flowers are bright yellow, with about 30 parts (much more than most common Aeoniums in cultivation).
