''Monanthes'' is a genus of small, succulent, subtropical plants of the Crassulaceae family. The about ten species are mostly endemic to the Canary Islands and Savage Islands, with some found on Madeira. Its center of diversity is Tenerife, with seven species occurring on this island. On Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, only ''M. laxiflora'' occurs. ''Monanthes'' are not frost-resistant. They are linked with the genera ''Sempervivum'', ''Greenovia'', ''Aichryson'' and ''Aeonium'', which is obvious from their similar flowers. Species of ''Monanthes'' differ considerably in life- and growth-form. ''M. icterica'', which is also genetically quite distant to other ''Monanthes'' species, is annual, while the other species are perennial. ''Monanthes'' is a rare example where a species re-colonizes the continent from an island, after their ancestors have colonized the island from the continent. ==Species== * ''Monanthes anagensis'' * ''Monanthes brachycaulos'' * ''Monanthes icterica'' * ''Monanthes laxiflora'' * ''Monanthes lowei'' * ''Monanthes minima'' * ''Monanthes muralis'' * ''Monanthes pallens'' * ''Monanthes polyphylla'' * * ''Monanthes polyphylla amydros'' * * ''Monanthes polyphylla polyphylla'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monanthes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
