Sedum

x füreri   Wein, 1912

Parentage : Sedum acre x S. mite (S. sexangulare)

 

Discovered on the Harz (Germany) and named for the Senator Johann Ludwig Fürer, leading botanist in the research of the Flora of the Harz in the 17th century.

 

English translation of the German First Description :

 

The shape of the leaves varies between the oval, dorsally convex leaves of Sedum acre and the linear, terete leaves of S. mite. Often the shape of the leaves varies on one and the same plant. The base of the leaves may be unspurred as in S. acre or – as in S. mite – more or less lengthened to a - however mostly only indistinct - obtuse spur. The upper part of the stems is rather loosely leafy. The branches of the cymes usually are more floriferous than those of S. acre; however the flowers are smaller than those of S. acre, about 2 – 2.5 times as long as the calyx; their colour however is darker as in S. mite. Their taste is more or less hot.

 

Fröderström (1935) and 't Hart & Bleij (2003) consider this a doubtful hybrid.
