A NUMERICAL TAXONOMY OF THE GENUS SEDUM L., FROM PAKISTAN AND KASHMIR by GHULAM RASOOL SARWAR AND MUHAMMAD QAISER1 – Pak. J. Bot., 43(2): 753-758, 2011. –
Abstract : The phenetic relationship between the species of the genus Sedum L. was investigated. Data from macro and micromorphology, including pollen and seed morphology, chemistry and distribution pattern was utilized. Two distinct groups of taxa are recognized from which one group comprises S. multicaule Wall. ex Lindl., and S. hispanicum L., while other group consists of S. trullipetalum Hook. f. & Thomson S. fischeri Raym. – Hamet and S. oreades (Decne.) Raym. – Hamet. A key of the taxa is provided and distribution maps of the species are also presented.

‎Sedum (‎Crassulaceae) : 1 post by 1 author.

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Sedum (Pl. click).

Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.

Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details.

If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful.
Any comments/ corrections are welcome.

Pl. go through Sedum (‎‎‎‎‎Crassulaceae) page with images of species (done mainly by …) in efloraofindia.

If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, it will be really nice.
Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let us know.

Flowers of Sedum morganianum are not clear on the species page. So, I am posting my photographs in a separate thread. 


A great effort put into place all the photographs in one place. A commendable job in consolidating the species at one place. Not only this particular post but also all other postings you have done with great efforts.

Fwd: Crassulaceae in H.P. : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1) – 1 MB
You had asked for the list of Rhodiola sp. in H.P. I am attaching complete list of plants recorded from H.P. and published in Flora of Himachal Pradesh by Botanical Survey of India.
As Rhodiola genus was part of Sedum earlier, the various species are listed under Sedum.
I’ll try to reorganise the species later on. 

You may try with these species for the id of your posted plant although no keys are provided.
