Sedum palmeri

A trailing, rosette-forming Sedum from the cliffs and rocky slopes of the Sierra Madre Oriental in northeastern Mexico, centred on the Monterrey region. It wants bright light, sharp drainage and a cool, fairly dry winter, and flowers yellow in late winter to spring.

Wild records span 365–2773 m, median about 1500 m; most come from the foothills and canyons around Monterrey at roughly 700–2100 m.
