In his book " Sedum of North America North of the Mexican Plateau , " Robert Clausen plow them as separate specie base on slight deviation in the inflorescences ( Sedum nussbaumerianumhas flowers all in the same planing machine , whileSedum adolphihas petals at different stratum in cymes ) . However , the fact bespeak thatSedum nussbaurianumshould be regarded as a synonym ofSedum adolphi . The two works have the same chromosome count ; they came from plants grown from the same source ( seeds gathered by Carl Purpus in 1907 ) , and both have corymbiform inflorescences . Therefore , with a precedency of 12 year , Sedum adolphiis the valid name .
