Sedum barbeyi

A little-documented Chinese stonecrop recorded from hills and mountains of Hubei, Shaanxi and western Sichuan. Treat it like other Asian rock-dwelling Sedum: bright light, a gritty mineral mix, a warm wet summer and a cold, drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Known from only a handful of records; like most Chinese Sedum it most likely grows on rocks, cliff ledges and stony slopes in open or lightly wooded hill country. Habitat detail here is inferred from the genus.

Recorded sites span roughly 130–2500 m, most around 500–1900 m; few records carry elevations.
