Aizopsis is a genus of the succulent family Crassulaceae (stonecrop family), found in east Asia.
Description[edit]
Flowers yellow, chromosome numbers, x=16.[2]
Taxonomy[edit]
In 1978, Ohba divided up the very large and cosmopolitan genus Sedum, placing Sedum aizoon and allied species into Sedum subgenus Aizoon.[3] In 1995, he segregated these species into a separate genus, Aizopsis.[4][5] However, other authors included these species in another segregate, Phedimus, as subgenus Aizoon.[6] Subsequent molecular phylogenetic analysis established Aizopsis as a sister group to Phedimus, which with distinguishing characteristics justified their retention as a separate genus,[2] although the distinction has not been universally adopted.[7]
Distribution[edit]
East Asia[2]
