Bejeque herreño, sanjora (Aeonium valverdense)

Compact, rather branched, leaves spathulate, pubescent on both sides, with reddish ciliate margins, the red tinge extending to the rest of the leaf. Flowers are pink and clustered in dense inflorescences. This native of El Hierro usually grows in the cracks of recent lava flows, in rocky areas generally along the eastern and southern flanks of the island, and in more isolated populations in the northeast, from sea level to 500 m. It is principally a xeric species, extremely well adapted to low rainfall and is rather abundant in certain desolate areas (e.g., El Lajial), where it can dominate the landscape.
