This must be the largest of the genus Aeonium, disstinguished from its allies by its glabrous leafs, which in shade or by juveniel plants are glaucus.
Praeger says "A grand plant, growing sometimes as tall as a man, with a huge spire of golden blossoms"
We find this plant in grand number allong the toad from Bailadero to Shamorga. She crosses with the A. urbicum and with A. canariensis.

This is not the "Giant velvet rose" for this name you have to take the Aeonium canariensis!!!!!
