Sedum jaliscanum

A small, widespread Mexican stonecrop of western and central Mexico, most often recorded around 1,500-2,700 m on rocky ground in oak, pine-oak and tropical dry forest. It follows the monsoon: growth in the summer rains, then a long, bright dry season.

Where it grows wild

Grows on rock outcrops, volcanic boulders, thin soil and moss mats in open or lightly wooded country. Like several Mexican Sedum of this group it is a small, short-lived plant that is most active in the rainy season; habitat details are inferred from the genus and the many records.

Recorded from near sea level to about 3,500 m, median about 1,900 m; most records are on the plateau around Guadalajara, Michoacán and Morelos.
