Suzie-Q brought next idea :

When we say "hen and chicks" plant, this is what we mean.

But I did say 'fern frond' ;-)

I don't know the scientific name.
(I got this picture from the web. It's not mine.)

the problem with using common names, same name can be used for
different plants in different parts of the world. :-)
