Aeonium mascaense

A small, much-branched Aeonium described by Bramwell from Tenerife, named for the Masca area of the Teno massif. Like other Canarian aeoniums it grows through the mild, slightly wetter winter and slows or goes semi-dormant in the dry summer.

Where it grows wild

Rock faces and cliff ledges in the ravines of western Tenerife, in open scrub on volcanic rock. This follows the name and the habitat of related Teno aeoniums, since no wild records are georeferenced.

Probably low to mid elevations in the Masca ravine; the climate site was placed at sea level on the east coast.
