Sedum lampusae is a monocarpic stonecrop endemic to northern Cyprus, a rosette plant that flowers once and then dies. It is rarely grown outside botanical collections, so care is best modelled on other drought-tolerant Sedum species.
Sedum lampusae is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae. It is an erect herb to 50 cm (20 in), dying after one flowering. Basal leaves flat, glaucous, fleshy, spoon-shaped, 4–10 cm (1.6–3.9 in) long, forming neat rosette which usually shrivels before the flowers open; steam leaves progressively smaller; inflorescence a long cylindrical or pyramidal spray, flowers numerous, crowded, brownish green, calyx-lobes and petals both 5, the latter narrow, pointed, 4 mm long, with a dark central vein. Stamens 10, follicles usually 5, erect, 5 mm long. Flowers from June to August. Common name is Lapta Damkoruğu.
Endemic to Northern Cyprus. Frequent along the Kyrenia Range, notably at and above Lapta (whence the specific name).
