Sedum mocinianum / piaxtlaense

Post by Roberto A »

I recently bought this plant in a garden center; it was labelled Echeveia globulosa: obviosly an error.
Now, the plants is the one generally sold as Sedum hintonii, but certanly it is NOT that species.
It could be S. mocinianum or S. piaxtlaense.... : the stem and leaves resemble those of S. mocinianum, in my opinion, but the flowering stem correspond to that of S. piaxtlaense.....
Have you any comment?

This is Sedum paixtlaense, its flowers and flower stems are noticeably different from Sedum mocinianum. A very nice plant, too.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

.. but I am doubtful about it being S. piaxtalaense as the original description says: <<rosette: lax>>; on the other hand, it says <<rosette: dense>> about S. mocinianum......
Does not seem to you that "my" plant has a very dense rosette???
