The navel of Venus (Umbilicus rupestris) is a spontaneous plant belonging to the Crassulaceae family, subfamily of the Cotyledonoideae. It is a plant that is easy to recognize, due to the typical disc shape of the leaves with a dimple in the center that resembles a navel (Umbilicus), with the vulgar nomenclature dedicated to the Greek divinity of beauty.
