Sedum tricarpum is a perennial herb inhabiting wet rocks
or trunks in mountainous regions. The stems, ranging from 10 to 25cm
in size, are tinged with red. Leaves on lower portions are 2-3cm
long and 5-10mm wide, the tips rounded, fleshy, and spoon-shaped and
lanceolate. Leaves on the stems are of alternate phyllotaxis, the
tips somewhat pointed. Many yellow flowers come in terminal cymes;
the petals, 5 in number, are linear-like lanceolate. Pistils are 3
(or rarely 4) in number, 6-8mm long, and stamens are shorter than
the petals - which characterize this species. Bloom time:
June-August. |
