Abstract
Sedum tosaense Makino (Crassulaceae), an unrecorded species in Korean flora, was collected from parasitic crater, Sangumburi in Jocheon-eup Bukjeju-gun, Jeju-do. This species is most similar to S. bulbiferum and S. orizifolium, but differs in some substantial characters. S. tosaense is perennial and stoloniferous herb with bulbils on stems, while S. bulbiferum is annual or biennial herb without bulbils in leaf axil. In addition, S. tosaense has leaves emarginate at apex whereas S. bulbiferum has leaves somewhat uneven at apex. the leaves of S. tosaense are conspicuously flattened and spatulate in shape at the stem without flowers, but those of S. orizifolium, are terete or slightly flattened and linear to narrowly oblong in shape.
