Sedastrum (Sedum and star). Crassulaceae. A genus founded in 1905 to include seven species, most of which had been theretofore referred to Sedum, but differing from that genus in having erect rather than spreading carpels, slender styles, and other characters. Mexican cespitose perennials, with numerous sts. arising from a dense basal rosette of lvs. and dying to base after flowering: st.-lvs. alternate, mostly broad, fleshy: fls. in a more or less paniculate leafy infl.; calyx green and deeply cleft; corolla white or whitish, with distinct spreading lobes. Probably none is regularly in cult., but at least S. ebracteatum, Rose (Sedum ebracteatum, Moc. & Sesse), has been listed abroad: fl.-sts. about a foot long, ascending or procumbent, pubescent, leafy, somewhat branching, bearing sessile or short-pedicelled whitish fls.: basal lvs. obovate or spatulate, flattened and fleshy, hairy or at least ciliate on margins. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
