(Salisb) Dandy & Rib 1948
Etymology:
Lives on rocks.
Place of Origin:
Western Europe and Mediterranean region.
A rock-dwelling plant commonly found on walls, cliffs, and damp crevices throughout the western Mediterranean. It forms basal rosettes of fleshy, rounded leaves, often with a central depression resembling a navel. The flowering stems are slender and upright, bearing drooping inflorescences with small flowers. During dry months, it may reduce to a tuberous root hidden within rock crevices. It differs from its sister species *U. gaditanus* in having more angular leaves and a more pronounced navel.
