Sedum longipes

A small Mexican stonecrop of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, recorded on rocks and thin soils in pine-oak country at roughly 1,300–3,200 m. It expects a warm, very bright dry winter and spring followed by a cool, wet summer rainy season, so it suits a bright, airy spot with a dry winter rest.

Where it grows wild

Records cluster in the volcanic highlands of Jalisco, Michoacán, México State, Morelos and Puebla. Like most small highland Mexican Sedum it most likely grows on rock outcrops, lava and thin soil pockets in open pine-oak woodland; habitat detail is inferred from the genus and range, not species literature.

Recorded at 1,266–3,168 m, median about 2,060 m (51 records).
