Sedum morganianum E. Walther

Common Name: Burro's Tail, Cola de Borrego
Family: Crassulaceae DC.

Country of Origin: Mexico (Veracruz)
Habitat: Hanging from crevices in shear rock walls in ravines.

Description: Burro's Tail is one of the most commonly cultivated succulent plants, although its original wild habitat was a mystery for many decades. A small natural population was discovered in remote canyons in Veracruz, Mexico, in 2008. All cultivated S. morganianum plants around the world presumably derive from this population, via local nurseries where it came to the attention of botanists in the 1930s.
