One might be tempted to think from its epithet that this aeonium is decorated in some way with spots or other markings. In fact, the Latin decorum means elegant, a fitting description of this clone with rosettes of clean, plain green with red margins in the upper half of the obovate leaves which come to a slightly attenuate point. With magnification, minute pointed teeth are also revealed scattered along the margin. We offer rooted cuts of HBG 137668, a plant collected by Crassulaceae researcher at the University of Kansas, Mark Mort (03-1017) on La Gomera, one of the Canary Islands, Spain. $6.
