In september, I visited a very rare belgian
Sempervivum biotop.
S. x funckii var. aqualiense is the most rare plant of Belgium and live only in one rock station ("La Heid des Gattes") in Liège Provincy, East of the Aywaille city.
The cliff where plants live is very dangerous and photos are difficult to make.
The presence of this hybrid (
tectorum x montanum x arachnoideum) is difficult to understand. This station is isolated from the geographical distribution of the
Sempervivum genus and no parent are present.
Two solutions are possible: an artificial introduction or a relic population.
It is possible that the second solution is good because other rare plants live there

An other Crassulaceae:
Hylotelephium telephium
