Jovibarba ("beard of Jove") is a small genus of three species of succulents in the family Crassulaceae, endemic to Europe. The genus is closely related to Sempervivum. It is controversial discussed, whether it is to classify as a subgenus of Sempervivum. Jovibarba have pale-greenish-yellow or yellow bell-shaped flowers with six petals, while Sempervivum has actinomorphic flowers with more than six petals. The common name Hen and chicks is applied to some Jovibarba species (and also species in several other related genera).
In addition to sexual propagation by seeds and propagation by offsets, the species Jovibarba heuffelii also propagates by dividing rosettes.
