Sedum adolphi similarities & controversy
In Henk't Hart and Bert Bleij's work, "Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants: Crassulacae" and noted S. nussbaumerianum to be very similar or identical in appearance to S.adolphi. However, Robert Clausen in "Sedum of North America North of the Mexican Plateau" treated them as a separate species in his book because of differences in their inflorescences. His work stated that S. nussbaumerianum's petals all in the same plane, but S. adolphi has petals at different levels in cymes.[6]
