    The epithet "divergens" refers to branching. In this case, I believe this refers to how the inflorescence of this plant branches.
  • Posted by valleylynn (Oregon City, OR - Zone 8b) on Nov 8, 2011 2:15 PM concerning plant:
    This is a sedum of rocky mid-elevation to subalpine areas along the Cascade and Siskiyou mountain areas.

    The golden, more singular star shaped flowers are held above tiny clusters of succulent oval leaves that are green when young, turning bright red when older; looking a bit like strings of jelly beans.

    This evergreen stonecrop spreads readily, rooting where stem tips touch the ground.
