The species of ''Aichryson'' are not frost-resistant. They are related to ''[[Sempervivum]], [[Jovibarba]], [[Greenovia]], [[Aeonium]]'' and ''[[Monanthes]]'', readily seen in their similar flowers. ==Relationships== Recent phylogenentic studies of Crassulaceae indicate that ''Aichryson'' is closely related to ''[[Monanthes]]'' and ''[[Aeonium]]'' (both genera are also largely endemic to the Canary Islands). Two other genera of Crassulaceae that have many-parted (polymerous) flowers (''[[Sempervivum]]'' and ''[[Jovibarba]]'') are not closely realted to the three Canary Island genera.<ref>Ham and 't Hart.

''Systematic Botany'', 27: 271-288</ref> On the Canary Islands, the center of species diversity seems to be the island of La Palma Relationships within Aichryson were investigated by Fairfield et al (2004) [Plant Systematics and Evolution248: 71-83]. They found that the five subspeies of A. pachycaulon were not each others closest relatives (monophyletic) and additional species may need to be erected after additional study. ==Species== * ''[[Aichryson bethencourtianum]]'' * ''[[Aichryson bollei]]'' * ''[[Aichryson divaricatum]]'' * ''[[Aichryson laxum]]'' * ''[[Aichryson palmense]]'' * ''[[Aichryson porphyrogennetos]]'' * ''[[Aichryson tortuosum]]'' (Gouty Houseleek) * ''[[Aichryson villosum]]'' Other species recognized by Nyffeler in Eggli 2004 are: * ''[[Aichryson brevipetalum]]'' * ''[[Aichryson dumosum]]'' * ''[[Aichryson pachycaulon]]'' (five subspecies have been recognized) * ''[[Aichryson parlatorei]]'' * ''[[Aichryson punctatum]]'' A recently named species is: * ''[[Aichryson bitumosum]]'' ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Crassulaceae-stub}} [[Category:Crassulaceae]]
