The only specimen, which is in the Kew Herbarium, is poor, 
all leaves having been lost, and the roots are wanting, but its 
habit and small dense inflorescences of purple flowers, possessing 
only 5 stamens, distinguish it from any other described Sedum. 
To judge from the few bracts, the leaves are broad and 
entire.
