Abstract
As part of a chorological and eco-biological study carried out in La Gomera with the nine species, two subspecies, and two varieties that make up the genera Aeonium and Greenovia, seven new hybrids were discovered. These add to the ten hybrids previously described by other authors on the island. The botanical descriptions of five new hybrids are provided. Since we only know the vegetative parts in the remaining two, some chorological, morphological, and taxonomic data are disclosed and photographically illustrated. A differential diagnosis of the new hybrids with other previously described nothotaxa on the island is made, especially with those that share one of the parents. The nomenclatural types were deposited in the LPA and TFC Canary herbaria.
