Flowers are greenish-yellow and leaves toothed in upper part. How about R. rosea L. subsp. rosea. R. rosea is so variable. I need to check some more references for this.

VOF Week: Sedum oreades at VOF: Sedum oreades, a succulent plant (Family: Crassulaceae) from VOF. …very nice shots..I hope this was found near the first bridge.. only little inside the entry gate…. I think yes. This is definitely not Sedum oreades. It is a Rhodiola. I will work on which species in due course. For correct Sedum oreades see recent posts. In that case it may be Rhodiola wallichiana as per images herein and as per images from Valley of Flowers in FOI at Wallich’s Rhodiola I repeat that Rhodiola is an extremely difficult genus. I shall look into the genus in the Himalaya further in due course but at this point cannot meaningfully comment further. Much easier to say what a specimen
is not, rather than what definitely is. Will not help the situation of frequent misidentifications by prematurely confirming an identification. At present I am not certain how to distinguish Rhodiola wallichiana.
In some cases the characteristics visible in some photos are insufficient to be sure.
Again, this is not Sedum oreades. It is a Rhodiola which I shall try to name in due course. In that case it may be Rhodiola wallichiana as per images herein and as per images from Valley of Flowers in FOI at Wallich’s Rhodiola I repeat that Rhodiola is an extremely difficult genus.

Sedum SP:: Crassulaceae, Combretaceae and Myrtaceae Fortnight (NSJ-06) : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (1)
Looks like Sedum Sp. Photo taken from Kalimpong (Apr-09) Close to Sedum oreades (Decne.) Raym.-Hamet but can not say anything further in view of lack of other details. This is not Sedum oreades. S.oreades is recorded from bordering Sikkim on stony ground, screes & rock cervices @ 3650-4300m – whereas Kalimpong is around 1250m..
Cannot suggest anything at present. In that case, It may be closer to Rhodiola wallichiana as per images herein and as per images from Valley of Flowers in FOI at Wallich’s Rhodiola Given the challenges naming Rhodiolas presents, it is wisest if I do not rush into making statements I cannot substantiate/support. Makes no sense adding to the confusion. I am working on Himalayan Rhodiolas but shall take time and concentration……

Rhodiola is difficult and I was waiting to learn more about this genus but finding it difficult. My specimen which I photographed on my Indrahar trek above 3600m could be R. wallichiana but I am not sure. Please advise.

. Help me to identify this plant- 110921SA2: 2 images.
Segregating posts clubbed due to same subject from …: Location:Rashan pora Kupwara jammu and Kashmir. I guess it is close to Rhodiola himalensis (D.Don) S.H.Fu Yes sir matched with Rhodiola himalensis kindly check with Rhodiola wallichiana (Hook.) S.H.Fu . Leaves resemble to some extent. Looks different ! Stem is creamy white coloured I guess http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=200009887 is correct ID ! Yes, appears close to images at Rhodiola wallichiana (Hook.) S.H. Fu as per comparative images at Rhodiola . References:
