Sedum anminanum (Crassulaceae), a new species from Central China

A new species, Sedum anminanum , from the border between Hubei and Shaanxi provinces, central China, is described and illustrated. The species belongs to Sedum sect. Filipes and is similar to Sedum stellariifolium in having alternate leaves, yellow flowers, and dense glandular hairs, but it can be easily separated from the latter by the perennial habit, soft stems, basal branches with rooted nodes, obovate-spatulate leaf blades, red-brown anthers, and broadly fan-shaped nectar scales.
