Ombligo de Venus, Umbilicus rupestris #84678170
Description
Umbilicus rupestris, Navelwort, Penny-pies or Wall Pennywort, is a fleshy, perennial, edible flowering plant in the stonecrop family Crassulaceae, so named for its umbilicate leaves. The pallid spikes of bell-shaped, greenish-pink flowers of this plant first appear in May, and the green fruits ripen through the summer. Both the name `navelwort` and the scientific name Umbilicus come from the round shape of the leaves, which have a navel-like depression in the center.
