Sedum morrisonense

A small yellow-flowered stonecrop, about 10 cm tall, from the high mountains of Taiwan, recorded mostly around 2,500 to 3,900 m. It is a true alpine: cool summers, frosty winters, strong sun and frequent mist, so it struggles in warm, stagnant conditions.

Where it grows wild

Grows on exposed rocky slopes, crevices and open alpine grassland on Taiwan's central ranges, such as Mount Hehuan. The plants sit in full sun but are often bathed in cloud and rain.

GBIF records span 1,000 to 3,962 m with a median near 3,100 m; the published range is 2,500 to 3,900 m, so lower records are probably stray or mislocated.
