Sempervivum tectorum
This plant is a succulent evergreen perennial, with leaves forming a rosette; it propagates by offsets, therefore forming mats on rocks. In summer, it forms thick stems bearing clusters of flowers.
Rocky and sun-exposed terrain, with little soil; resistant to droughts.
Mentioned in literature that the juice is used in herbal medicine in treatment of skin rash and eye inflammations, or to induce vomiting.
