Aeonium haworthii is a species of the stonecrop genus Aeonium which is known by the common names Haworth's aeonium and pinwheel. This stonecrop is native to the Canary Islands, but it has been introduced to other areas of similar climate, such as Southern California in the United States. It is also kept as an ornamental. It is a sand-dwelling succulent beach plant with rough, woody stems and thick, red-edged green leaves which are triangular or diamond- or spade-shaped. The cream-colored pointy flowers are about a centimeter wide.
