Rock stonecrop (Petrosedum forsterianum)
Description
Petrosedum forsterianum is a succulent perennial up to 8 inches (20 cm) tall, with heads of yellow, star-shaped flowers on the ends of the upright branches. The non-flowering shoots terminate in clusters of linear leaves (with old dead leaves persisting on the stem below). Often mistaken for Sedum rupestre, which is a similar but more robust species found in identical habitats, and differing in having no dead leaves below the terminal clusters.
