Aeonium leucoblepharum is a succulent plant of the genus Aeonium. It is instantly recognisable by its central tanin stripes and pointed leaves. After exposure to sun it develops this pinky colour to the leaves. There are variants with less pointed leaves but still with the central tanin stripe.

It is also known as Sempervivum leucoblepharum and Sempervivum chrysanthum.[1]
