Sedum Michauxii (Hab. ?). 
Treat like Sedum brevifolium. 
Sedum obtusifolium (Orient). 
This species should be planted in a sunny 
place in any poor loam mixed with plenty of grit 
or fine broken crocks. In spring, and again in 
autumn, it requires to be top-dressed with more 
poor loam, as, on account of the very succulent 
nature of the plant, the wind soon breaks it off. 
Sedum Pittoni (Hab. *). 
Treat like Sedum brevifolium. 
Sedum populifolium (Siberia). 
This Sedum is exceptional for its shade-loving 
character and in requiring to be planted in good 
deep loam. 
Sedum sempervivoides (Asia Minor). 
The off-sets of this plant should be encouraged 
as much as possible, as the individual rosettes die 
after flowering like those of Sempervivum. Plant 
on a well-drained, sunny bank, facing full south, a 
stone or two being used to keep the rosettes firm 
against wind, in a mixture of equal parts of poor 
loam and grit, the soil being kept as poor as 
possible. In spring and autumn, top-dress with 
the same compost as before. 
Sedum spathulifolium (N.W. America). 
Treat like Sedum obtusifolium, with the addi- 
tion of a little limestone to the loam, as this brings 
out the beautiful white colouring of the plant.
