Autumn joy sedum native range2/29/2024 This in turn was named after King Telephus who suffered from a spear wound that would not heal ( see Uses). The name Telephium was thought to be named after a surgical term for an ulcer that was particularly difficult to cure. The name Hylotelephium telephium has been widely, but not universally adopted. That clade, originally given the informal name Telephium and later Hylotelephium, was given the taxonomic rank of tribe Telephieae. Sedum is widely considered to be an unnatural catch-all taxonomic grouping. Subsequent molecular phylogenetic studies have confirmed that these species constitute a distinct clade, separate from the very large Sedum genus, which is paraphyletic. Consequently, Ohba (1977) segregated these species into a separate genus, Hylotelephium with 28 species, specifying Hylotelephium telephium as the type species. These species differ markedly from the rest of that genus by a distinct ovary and ovules, flowering stems, leaves, inflorescence, flower parts, colour and blooming time and chromosome number. It was first formally described by Linnaeus in 1753, as one of 15 species of Sedum, Gray included it and related species as a section of the genus Sedum. Pliny, Gerard and Parkinson were among many later authors to describe Telephium. The plant was known to botanists, including Dioscorides ( Διοσκουρίδης, 40 AD – 90 AD) in his De Materia Medica ( Greek: Περὶ ὕλης ἰατρικῆς) as Telephion ( Greek: Τηλεφιον). Occasionally garden plants may escape and naturalise as has happened in parts of North America. A number of cultivars, often with purplish leaves, are grown in gardens as well as hybrids between this species and the related Hylotelephium spectabile (iceplant), especially the popular 'Herbstfreude' ('Autumn Joy'). The flowers are held in dense heads and can be reddish or yellowish-white. Hylotelephium telephium ( synonym Sedum telephium), known as orpine, livelong, frog's-stomach, harping Johnny, life-everlasting, live-forever, midsummer-men, Orphan John and witch's moneybags, is a succulent perennial groundcover of the family Crassulaceae native to Eurasia.
