Aeonium glandulosum

A flat, sticky, plate-like rosette succulent endemic to the cliffs of the Madeira archipelago. It is a winter grower of mild, frost-free maritime air that slows in the dry summer, and the rosette often dies after flowering, so collect seed.

Where it grows wild

Grows on sea cliffs, especially on northern shores, and on rocky peaks, rooted in rock crevices with its rosette pressed flat against the rock.

Wikipedia gives sea level to about 700 m; GBIF records span 13–1,795 m with a median of 950 m, from only 10 records with elevation.
