Sedum gypsicola is a flowering plant of the genus Sedum in the family Crassulaceae.




Taxonomy


Sedum gypsicola is related to Sedum album and has been considered a synonym by some authors, but it differs in having papillate leaves and a more restricted distribution. Apart to the more widely distributed nominate subspecies (subsp. gypsicola), Sicilian plants have been described as an endemic subspecies, subsp. trinacriae.




Distribution and habitat


Sedum gypsicola grows on gypsum and limestone at altitudes of 0 to 2000 m. The species occurs in the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain), North Africa (Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia) and Sicily.
