Aeonium

Post by conaire »

Has anyone out there heard of or seen a plant called Aeonium goodii?I posted 3 photos of an unknown variegated Aeonium a couple of weeks ago and the closest match I can find is A.goodii.I cant find much information on it though.I hoped someone on this site might have a photo of it.
Thanks, Conaire.

I don't think that A. goodii exists as a current taxa.

That's a wonderful piece of work. Unfortunately none of the current publications (Rupolph Schultz' AEONIUM, nor the Illustrated Handbook of Succulents) recognize it.

As we have discussed here so often it's really up to the owner of a plant as to whether or not to use any name.

A very good article in Cactus Explorer 20 on the nonexistent Aeonium goodii, written by Marco Cristini :
