HT: Sketch of leaf, in Praeger, Semperviva of the Canary Islands area, Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy 38 Sect.B (1): 474, t.11, fig. 15. (24 Sep) 1929. Autotype (Art. 9.1). The only included element.

Description (according to Praeger, An Acount of the Sempervivum Group, 1932) :

Intermediate between the parents.

Stem thicker and branches fewer than in haworthii.

Rosette denser.

Leaves longer.

Inflorescence larger.

Flowers greenish-white or pinkish-white, devoid of the rather orange tinge that characterizes haworthii, at least in its native sunlight.

Flowering time : May - June.

In all the characters in which the hybrid departs from haworthii it approaches urbicum.

Not infrequent also in cultivation (mostly under the name haworthii), the result of crossing in greenhouses. Intermediates between the hybrid and each of the parents also occur, both in nature and in gardens, the result of secondary crossing, so that a series may be obtained presenting every gradation from one parent to the other.

Aeonium ×pseudohawbicum

Obs: When Aeonium pseudourbicum  Bañares is treated as being the same as Aeonium urbicum  (Hornem.) Webb & Berthel., this taxon becomes an illegitimate synonym of Aeonium ×hawbicum  Bramwell & G.D.Rowley (1973).
