Monanthes is a genus of small, succulent, subtropical plants of the Crassulaceae family. They mainly grow in the Canary Islands, with some found on Madeira.
Monanthes are not frost-resistant. They are linked with the genera Sempervivum, Greenovia, Aichryson and Aeonium, which is obvious from their similar flowers.
