Sedum cormiferum

Sedum cormiferum is a little-known stonecrop described by Clausen in 1959 from the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt of central Mexico. Very little is published about it; grow it like other high-elevation Mexican sedums, with strong light, cool nights, summer water and a dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Generalised from the high-altitude Sedum of the volcanic belt: open rocky slopes, lava and thin soil among grassland and pine-oak forest. The epithet points to a corm-like underground base, but this was not confirmed.

No wild records with elevations; the climate was modelled at about 3,000 m on the volcanic belt, which is plausible but unverified.
