Sedum elatinoides

A small, soft-leaved annual stonecrop that is widespread in the mountains of central China (Shaanxi, Hubei, Sichuan and nearby) and reaches Myanmar. It grows on damp, shaded rocks and slopes, so it behaves more like a moist-rock annual than a dry-land succulent, and it is usually kept going from seed each year.
