|discussion=<p>Flowers of <i>Sedella pumila</i> have a noticeably musty odor. The Oregon specimen of <i>Sedum</i> pumilum cited by R. T. Clausen (1975) as needing confirmation is not of this species, and the Nuttall specimen cited for Oregon by W. H. Brewer et al. (1876–1880, vol. 1) is of doubtful origin (R. V. Moran 1998).</p><!--
--><p>Although W. L. Jepson (1909–1943, vol. 2) called <i>Sedella</i> congdonii a dubious variety of S. pumilum, H. K. Sharsmith (1936) and all later authors have kept it as a distinct species. The two taxa have broadly overlapping ranges and the same chromosome number, and although some specimens are different enough, they are connected by many intermediates. It does not seem practical to separate them (R. V. Moran 1998).</p>
