Sedum australe

A small high-mountain Sedum from the volcanic highlands of western Guatemala and neighbouring Chiapas, recorded mostly between 2,800 and 3,700 m. Treat it as a cool, bright, frost-tolerant alpine succulent rather than a warm-climate Mexican sedum.

Where it grows wild

Recorded on open rocky slopes, outcrops and alpine grassland of the Guatemalan high volcanoes and Cuchumatanes; like related highland sedums it likely roots in thin soil pockets on rock. Little species-specific habitat detail is published.

Recorded at 2,800–3,740 m, median 3,370 m, well above the regional climate grid.
