Abstract
Sedum yangjifengensis (Crassulaceae), a new species from Jiangxi Province, China, was described and compared after introductory cultivation and morphological studies. The morphological characters of this species were found to vary considerably between growth periods: during the vegetative growth period, it has short, slender, tufted stolons, small leaves and during the reproductive growth period, it has long internodes below the inflorescence and with much larger bract leaves. It is similar to S. makinoi but exhibits extremely varied in leaf sizes and the length of internodes, and to S. concarpum and S. lipingense, but has connate follicles only at 1mm and no rosette leaves present.
