Sedum…?? Kalatope al230911: Two flowers today that looked like sedum to me…
Location Kalatope, Chamba
Altitude 2100 mts
Habit herb
Habitat garden/cultivated
height 10/12 inches

I hope Sedum ewersii


i vaguely remember that once upon a time kalanchoes were also called sedum…
how does one differentiate the two? officially…


The two genera are very distinct. In that in Kalanchoe the flowers have a long corolla tube completely enclosing the fruit and flowers are 4-merous. In sedum the petals are free and usually 5-merous (4-merous is Rhodiola) but fruits are visible from top.

It may be Sedum ewersii.

In lack of leaves difficult to conclude. Any pic of leaves will be conclusive.


Yes it is Sedum ewersii


Yes …, common in middle Altitudes. We had grown it at our house also in Srinagar. Please preserve it for upload during the coming Fortnight.


Only flowers are magnified blacking out the leaves, which are important for this plant’s identity

very nice

wild, eh?

some crassula also have similar colored and structured (atleast to quick looking) flowers…


Yes, Very good photographs

Can it be Hylotelephium ewersii


Yes the two are synonyms.

The Plant List recognises Sedum ewersii.


Yes Sedum ewersii.

Could be S. ewersii also.


Thank you, Sir.

This is to share with you from Shimla.. I hope this is rightly identified as Sedum ewersii .. please suggest if otherwise..


This one I know

we have them in the gardening centers

yes

Sedum ewersii or Sedum Causticola
Pictures shot at an altitude of 11000 ft after crossing the Khardung La on 22 Aug, 2014, though not so good quality.

Another species I think you mean is Sedum cauticola Praeger  


It must be sedum ewersii

Sedum ewersii ABOCT2016/07 : 6 posts by 3 authors. 2 images.
A friend sent me this yesterday. He found this above Triund on his way to Ilaqa at about 3200m. I think this is Sedum ewersii. Please advise.
Sedum ewersii   
Triund-Ilaqa, Dharamshala, HP 3200m 08-09 October 2016


Yes, this is Sedum ewersii but I’m afraid there have been major taxonomic and nomenclatural changes in Crassulaceae. Many higher mountain
Sedums are now within the genus Rhodiola whilst this is now Hylotelephium ewersii (ledeb.) H.Ohba – except I see this is not an accepted name within ‘The Plant List’, so must check this out. It was the name used by Dickore & Klimes in their checklist of Ladakh flora.
Stewart knew it as S.ewersii– a very common rock crevice plant, chiefly in the temperate zone @ 1000, mostly 1500-4500m.  It grows on the Rohtang Pass and I know it from Ladakh.  
Collet did not find it at Shimla but higher at Matiana and Narkunda.
‘Flowers of Lahaul-Spiti’ record it (as Hylotelephium) as common on rocks & boulders.
I see there is Hylotelephium pakistanicum (G.R.Sarwar) G.R.Sarwar as an accepted name- this does not gives H.ewersii as a synonym but when google images is clicked various photos of the latter species appear along with a line drawing of it! In FOP H.pakistanicum is separated on the basis of being glandular-hairy (and some other minor characteristics). Would need to check this further to see if such a separation is justified at species level?
See: /species/a—l/cl/crassulaceae/hylotelephium/sedum-ewersii


Thanks, …, We can not rely on The Plant List Ver. 1.1 where data is shown as being taken from WCSP (in review) as it is still under review.
This is the case here at The Plant List Ver. 1.1 link (The record derives from WCSP (in review) (data supplied on 2012-03-23) which reports it as a synonym with original publication details: Bot. Mag. (Tokyo) 90: 50 1977.)


OK.  Thought it may be of interest to some the information provided to me by Ray Stephenson of the UK SEDUM SOCIETY:
Rhodiola were considered by Linnaeus to be separate from Sedum as the only species then known had single-sex flowers. Only as new species were discovered t have relatively typical Sedum flowers did many taxonomists follow Scopoli (1771) to place them all in Sedum – despite the fact all Rhodiola known at the time were herbaceous and some species had sunken ovaries (partially below the line of petals).
In recent times the Linnaean classification has been more widely accepted due to DNA studies (especially Ohba) showing Rhodiola quite removed from Sedum proper.
Telephium was always a subgenus of Sedum (herbaceous + attenuate or stipitate carpels). Unfortunately as the name Telephium or a genus had been used illegally by Hill (1756), a ne generic name was needed. This led to Hylotelephium– which is much closer to Orostachys, Sinocrassula, Rhodiola, Phedimus and Pseudosedum than to Sedum proper.
Let us see what the decision is following the review….


Thanks, … Earlier it was GRIN, which was supposed to be very good, but it did gave only a few synonyms.
Things changed with the coming of The Plant List in 2012, which I think was further modified in 2014 with Ver. 1.1, to reduce the anomalies. But it is based on fixed datasets taken from different sources like WCSP, ILDIS, GCC etc. However, there are still lot of discrepancies.
Now Catalogue of Life has been released in 2016, which I find is generally better than the The Plant List Ver. 1.1.
Along with the resources as above, we can also check in different efloras & local floras etc. & take a final decision.
