'''''Aeonium''''' is a [[genus]] of about 35 species of [[succulent]], subtropical [[plant]]s of the family [[Crassulaceae]].

The name comes from the ancient Greek "aionos" (=immortal).

Most of them are native to the [[Canary Islands]]. Some species are found in [[Madeira]], [[Morocco]] and in [[East Africa|eastern Africa]] (for example in the [[Semien Mountains]] of [[Ethiopia]]).

The rosette [[Leaf|leaves]] are on a basal stem. Low-growing ''Aeonium'' species are ''A. tabuliforme'' and ''A. smithii''; large species include ''A. arboreum'', ''A. valverdense'' and ''A. holochrysum''.

''Aeonium'' are not frost-resistant. They are related to the genera ''[[Sempervivum]]'', ''[[Aichryson]]'' and ''[[Monanthes]]'', which is easy to see from their similar [[flower]] and [[inflorescence]]s.  Recently, the genus ''[[Greenovia]]'' has been placed within ''Aeonium''.
