| Sedum rupifragum,
endemic to a small, limited portion of Shimane, inhabits steep
jagged slopes on a valley. Alternate, long, flat leaves and
shorter-than-the-petal stamens characterize this species. Stems
crawl, branching, at times, on rocks and grow diagonally upwards on
the way to 10-20cm in height. Leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis,
each in a linear-lanceolate shape and fleshy. Five-petaled
flowers,10-80 in number, 5-7mm in diameter, come in cymose
inflorescences borne on stem tips and open flat. Bloom time:
May-June. |
