Hideaki Ohba in Flora of North America (vol. 8)
Herbs, perennial, tufted, glabrous. Stems rootstocks, decumbent and ascending, branched, (sometimes papillose), bearing terminal rosettes and above ground shoots. Leaves (not easily detached), alternate, spreading-erect to erect or ascending, sessile; blade dull gray-green or bluish green, green, or reddish green, often glaucous, lanceolate, elliptic-lanceolate, or elliptic-ovate, subterete, 4.2-13 × 1.5-3.5 mm, base very short-spurred, base of withered blade at times becoming scarious, apex obtuse or obtusely apiculate, (surfaces papillose). Flowering shoots erect, simple or branched, 3-18 cm; leaf blades elliptic-lanceolate, base short-spurred; offsets not formed. Inflorescences cymes, 5-25-flowered, (1-)3(-6)-branched; branches ascending, spreading to erect, or recurved, forked; bracts similar to leaves. Pedicels absent or to 3 mm. Flowers 5-merous; sepals erect, connate basally, pale green to yellow-green, ovate or lanceolate, equal, 2-5 × 1-2 mm, apex acute or, rarely, obtuse, (often papillose); petals widely spreading from suberect base, distinct, canary to golden yellow, lanceolate, elliptic-lanceolate, or linear-lanceolate, canaliculate, 6-9.2 mm, apex acute to acuminate with minute mucronate appendage; filaments yellow; anthers yellow, sometimes suffused with red; nectar scales deep yellow to yellow-green, obovately square. Carpels erect in fruit, basally connate, brown. 2n = 16. Sedum lanceolatum forms offsets in the axils of rosette leaves. The mature carpels have divergent beaks and narrow lips along the adaxial suture.

JANAS 27(2)
Plant: perennial herb, tufted, with fibrous roots and with slender branching stems 3-15 cm high in flower but often decumbent at base and with leafy short sterile branches Leaves: crowded, subterete, linear to lanceolate, subacute, 4-13 mm long, 1.5-3.5 mm wide, the lower often papillose INFLORESCENCE: CYMES often dense, short-branched, often 2-3 cm wide Flowers: yellow, 10-18 mm wide; sepals equal, triangular to lanceolate, acute, slightly united and not spurred, 2-5 mm long; petals triangular-lanceolate, acute to acuminate, 6-11 mm long; pistils erect, 4-9 mm high Fruit: follicles, erect, slender, 4-6 mm high, narrowing gradually to divergent styles.
