Diagnostic description ²

Sedum nevii is often found with several bryophyte species on exposed to shaded cliffs and rock crevices. It closely resembles other stonecrops, especially Sedum pulchellum, which may be distinguished by its purplish to pinkish white flowers and strongly auriculate-clasping stem leaves. Nevius' stonecrop, in contrast, has white flowers and stem leaves with only slightly decurrent bases. Sedum ternatum, a frequent rangewide associate, also has white flowers, but in this species the stem leaves are whorled, not alternate, and it blooms at least two weeks before S. nevii. A basal rosette of marginally papillose, elliptic to oblanceolate leaves is always present. Usually, old, dried flowering stems are present with an occasional remnant, withered, alternate leaf.
