Sedum neovolcanicum

A small high-mountain stonecrop of the western Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, recorded around the Colima volcanoes and Tancítaro at roughly 3000 m. It expects strong sun, cold nights near freezing, a dry winter and spring, and a wet, misty summer. Little is published on it, so this profile leans on the measured climate and on related high-altitude Mexican Sedum.
