--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Herbs,</b> biennial, erect, glabrous. <b>Stems</b> rootstocks, horizontal, simple, bearing basal rosettes (axillary shoots with subterranean, white stems that detach easily and bear terminal rosettes of colorless leaves). <b>Leaves</b> alternate, spreading, outermost ones petiolate (petiole 4–5 mm); blade green or greenish white, not glaucous, oblanceolate, obovate, or narrowly spatulate, laminar, 2–16 × 1.4–3.2 mm, base not spurred, not scarious, apex blunt, (surfaces papillose). <b>Flowering</b> shoots erect, simple, (5–)11(–18) cm; leaf blades ovate or elliptic, base not spurred; offsets not formed. <b>Inflorescences</b> cymes, 5–60-flowered, 3–6-branched; branches often strongly recurved, each 1 or 2 times dichotomously forked; bracts similar to leaves, smaller. <b>Pedicels</b> to 0.3 mm. <b>Flowers</b> (5–)6(–7)-merous; sepals erect, slightly connate basally, green, ovate, equal, 1.5–2 × 0.7–1.1 mm, apex acute; petals spreading, distinct nearly to base, canary yellow, keel green or dark red, lanceolate to oblong, carinate, 4–6 mm, apex subobtuse to acute; filaments yellow; anthers yellow; nectar scales deep yellow, subquadrate. <b>Carpels</b> stellately spreading in fruit, connate basally, brown. <b>2n</b> = 16.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Variation in the number of floral parts of <i>Sedum leibergii</i> (5–7-merous) is unique in North American sedums. It has tiny rosettes of lax, long-spatulate basal leaves that mostly have shriveled by anthesis. <i>Sedum borschii</i>, which is often confused with <i>S. leibergii</i>, has primary rosettes, prominent at anthesis, that have obovate or elliptic leaves.</p>
