| − | 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>.
