Read about Monanthes in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Monanthes (named for the often solitary flower). Crassulaceae. About 10 little fleshy herbs of the Canary Isls. and Morocco. Perennial, tufted, mostly glandular-hairy: lvs. fleshy, clavate or cylindrical, opposite or alternate, part or all of them rosulate: fls. reddish or orange, on slender peduncles, solitary or in cymes or racemes; sepals connate at base; petals 6-12, small, lanceolate; scales broad and petal-like. Closely allied to Cotyledon and Sempervivum, and presumably requiring similar treatment. From Sempervivum it differs in the much more developed scales in the fl., opposite the carpels. Fanciers are likely to grow a number of species; the following description will indicate what the plants are like. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
