--><p>S. Mayuzumi and H. Ohba (2004) concluded that <i>Phedimus</i> forms a lineage distinct from <i>Sedum</i> in a strongly supported clade based on chloroplast and nuclear DNA sequences. <i>Phedimus</i> is characterized by having flattened leaves with serrate or crenate margins; <i>Sedum</i> has semiterete or very thickened leaves with entire margins (Ohba et al. 2000).</p>
