Variability of Sedum dasyphyllum
Sedum corsicum > dasyphyllum glanduliferum - plant in cultivation :
Towards its NW extremes, plants are tiny with opposite, decussate leaves. This one photographed on Mt Olympus, Greece :
Sedum dasyphyllum var oblongifolium from the Atlas Mountains :
Plant in cultivation :
S. burnatii is very similar to macrophyllum which is just a little smaller.
This form is from Corsica, but is similar to those from the N African coast. Leaves are 5-10 times longer than those plants from Bulgaria or N Greece :
Some forms have consistently 5-partite flowers, and some forms have consistently 6- partite flowers, others have mixed partite. Some have very narrow petals, others are broad.
var. macropohyllum :
S. dasyphyllum mesatlanticum :
'Lloyd Praeger' is as hairy as corsicum but it is minute. It's least endearing feature is losing all its leaves in a rainstorm. I believe this form grows under overhangs at high altitudes in S. Spain. At present I have 51 distinct forms of S. dasyphyllum, most of which are difficult to assign to any trinomial :
'Lilac Mound' is tiny and makes dense carpets. It too is probably Spanish but more likely the Pyrenees :
Another hairy form from the Pyrenees, Broto Valley, Aragon :

This extremely large very hairy form in at Tizi-N-Test, Atlas Mountains, it is distinct but nameless(????) unless we believe Maire and call it var. pulligerum!
Cap Bon, Tunisia, Sedum dasyphyllum is same or very similar to plants from coastal Corsica (var. burnatii) :
