Chaloupkaea aizoon

A rosette-forming stonecrop relative (formerly in Rosularia) of high Anatolian and Armenian mountains, recorded at about 1,400–2,900 m. It lives in full sun on rocks where winters are long and well below freezing and summers are warm and fairly dry. Treat it as a hardy alpine succulent: bright light, a cold dry winter and very sharp drainage.
