This plant, a former Greenovia, is from Tenerife in the Canary Islands. It has glaucous blue-green leaves and the rosette may be open or closed depending on conditions and the season. Prolific reproduction leads this plant to form mats over time.
The name, sometimes erroneously spelled erroneously as dodrentale (even in the CoL), refers to the nine inch long peduncle (in reality 4-10 inches). The flowers are deep yellow and may have dozens of parts (18-32) instead of 8-10 like most common Aeoniums. A rosette dies after flowering.
This plant grows on rocky walls and ravines in habitat, often in full sun.
