Describe the plant here...
+
'''''Aeonium undulatum''''' is one of the larger [[aeonium]]s with the rosette often over a metre from the ground on a single stem.  Other rosettes do not branch off this stem (normally) but grow from the bottom, unlike most aeoniums. The plant is [[monocarpic]] so the flowering stem will die when it flowers which is normally after about 5 years.

The [[Botanical name|specific epithet]] "undulatum" comes from the Latin ''[[wikt:unda#Latin|unda]]'', meaning "wave," and refers to the wavy leaves.<ref>{{es icon}} [http://www.floradecanarias.com/aeonium_undulatum.html Flora Vascular de Canarias]</ref>.  Other names include ''Sempervivum undulatum'', ''Sempervivum youngianum'', and "saucer plant" <ref>[http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plants/Crassulaceae/Aeonium_undulatum.html Desert Tropicals]</ref>
