Sedum sekiteiense is a Taiwan-endemic species of the family Crassulaceae in the Sedum genus. It is also one of the few wild plants named after Shiding. The species was first published by Yoshimatsu Yamamoto in 1934 in the Supplementa Iconum Plantarum Formosanarum. Although its taxonomic status has been stable, little is known about its ecological habits due to its rarity, limited distribution, and habitats that are often located on steep and inaccessible cliffs that are difficult to observe. The species is classified as “Vulnerable (VU)” in “The Red List of Vascular Plants of Taiwan, 2017.”
Endemic to Taiwan, this is one of the narrowly distributed plants of the Sedum genus that are distributed in low-altitude areas of the island, along with S. uniflorum Hook. & Arn., Sedum drymarioides Hance, S. tarokoense H. W. Lin & J. C. Wang. Its distribution ranges from Datun Mountain in the north to Pingxi, Shiding Mountains, to Yilan. The habitats are often located on steep cliffs with moist and semi-shaded rocks near ridgelines. The population size consists of only a few dozen. The “Red List of Vascular Plants of Taiwan, 2017,” assessed its threat level as “Vulnerable (VU)” due to its small population and the possibility of less than 1000 mature individuals.
