B0C8FDB88E875F50945EFDB332FD2DA6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Sedum guangxiense is similar to S. tosaense and S. emarginatum in its leaf shape and inflorescence type, but can be distinguished from the latter two by its erect stems in youth (vs. prostrate when young), much larger leaves (1.5 – 3.5 cm long vs. 1 – 2 cm), narrowly triangular petals (vs. narrowly elliptic-lanceolate and linear-lanceolate to lanceolate), ovate nectar scales (vs. subquadrangular and oblong) and larger, oblong anthers (rather than oblong-ovoid).	en	Zou, Chun-Yu, Meng, Tao, Meng, Shi-Yong, Liu, Yan (2025): A new species of Sedum (Crassulaceae, Saxifragineae) from Guangxi, China.

Stems stout, erect when young, with irregular branching, to 10 – 25 cm tall. Leaves alternate, base spurred, sessile, thick, spatulate to obovate, 1.5 – 3.5 cm long, 0.5 – 1 cm wide, apex usually retuse, rarely round, base long-attenuate. Inflorescences terminal, many flowered cymes, usually with three branches, each 2 - forked; bracts leaf-like, 5 – 10 mm long, 2 – 5 mm wide; flowers usually sessile, usually 5 -, sometimes 4 - or 6 - merous; Sepals usually 5, sometimes 4 or 6, free, green, fleshy, strongly unequal in size, spatulate to obovate, 3 – 8 mm long, 1 – 3 mm wide, apex usually retuse, rarely round. Petals usually 5, sometimes 4 or 6, yellow, narrowly triangular, 5 – 6 mm long, 1.1 – 1.5 mm wide, apex acuminate, slightly connate at base. Stamens usually 10, sometimes 8 or 12, shorter than petals, erect at anthesis, arranged in two whorls; antesepalous ones 3.5 – 4 mm, antepetalous ones 3 – 3.5 mm; anthers oblong, ca. 0.8 mm long, reddish-brown before dehiscence. Nectar scales ovate, 0.3 – 0.4 mm. Carpels usually 5, sometimes 4 or 6, connate at the base for ca. 0.3 – 0.5 mm, gibbous ventrally, 5 – 6 mm long; styles 1.6 – 2 mm long.
