navelwort

Umbilicus rupestris (Salisb.) Dandy is a member of the genus Umbilicus in the Crassulaceae family. It is commonly referred to as navelwort due to its navel-like leaves. The species is native to several islands in the Atlantic, including the Açores, Madeira, and the Canary Islands, as well as parts of mainland Europe like Belgium, the Netherlands, and Great Britain. It was first described in 1948. The name has been subject to some taxonomic debate, with some sources questioning its validity. It is also known by alternative common names such as wall pennywort, hipwort, and penny-pies. The plant is edible and is recognized for its fleshy, perennial growth habit.
