--><p>Species 3 (3 in the flora).</p><!--
--><p><i>Sedella</i> is distinctive in its solitary basal seeds, each in an indehiscent utricle. The plants are often red or reddish. In two species, the utricles have sticky glands that may help dispersal; also, they float in water. Despite some reports, every species has a nectary at the base of each pistil, as in most Crassulaceae.</p><!--
--><p>Clausen proposed the name Parvisedum because he thought <i>Sedella</i> Fourreau of 1868 to be an earlier homynym, but U. Eggli (1992) pointed out that <i>Sedella</i> Fourreau was not validly published. However, Á. Löve and D. Löve (1985) have used “<i>Sedella</i>” in the sense of Fourreau.</p>
