Jovibarba ("beard of Jove") is a small genus of three species of succulents in the family Crassulaceae, endemic to Europe. In Roman mythology, Jupiter was the king of the gods and the god of Sky and Thunder. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic Succulent plants, also known as succulents or fat plants, are Water -retaining Plants adapted to Arid climate or Soil conditions The Crassulaceae, or orpine family, is a family of Dicotyledons They store water in their Succulent leaves Endemism is the Ecological state of being unique to a place Endemic species are not naturally found elsewhere The genus is closely related to Sempervivum, and was formerly considered a subgenus of it. Houseleeks or Liveforever ( Sempervivum) are a Genus of about 40 Species of Succulent plants of the Crassulaceae family Jovibarba have pale-greenish-yellow or yellow bell-shaped flowers with six petals, while Sempervivum has actinomorphic flowers with more than six petals. Floral symmetry refers to whether and how a Flower can be divided into two or more identical or mirror-image parts The common name Hen and chicks is applied to some Jovibarba species (and also species in several other related genera). Hen and chicks (also known as Hen-and-chickens) is a common name for a group of small succulents belonging to the Flowering plant family
In addition to sexual propagation by seeds and propagation by offsets, the species Jovibarba heuffelii also propagates by dividing rosettes. A seed (in some plants referred to as a kernel) is a small embryonic Plant enclosed in a covering called the seed coat usually with some stored See " Offset " for other uses of the term gives rise to tuft of buds at node called offste and adventitious roots below
- Species
Only three species are accepted as distinct by the Flora Europaea:
- Jovibarba globifera (syn. J. sobolifera; Sempervivum globifera)
- Jovibarba heuffelii (syn. J. velenovskyi; Sempervivum heuffelii)
- Jovibarba hirta (syn. Sempervivum hirta)
Jovibarba globifera and its subspecies (subsp. hirtum, subsp. allionii, subsp. arenaria) live in the eastern and southern Alps, the Carpathians and the western Balkans south to northern Albania. J. heuffelii occurs in the remainder of the Balkans and the eastern Carpathians, southeast of J. globifera. J. hirta occurs further west, in the southwestern Alps.
