We describe and illustrate Sedum shunhuangense , a new species from Hunan, China. The species is morphologically similar to S. alfredii and S. yangjifengensis but differs in having subequal sepals, papillate seeds, and alternate leaves with caducous lower leaves during flowering. Phylogenetic reconstruction strongly supports two accessions of S. shunhuangense as monophyletic and sister to S. lipingense and S. wilsonii . The species has an estimated wild population of 200 individuals and is assessed as Endangered (EN) under IUCN criteria.
