Origin and Habitat: Algeria (Kabylia and in the surroundings of Constantine)
Habitat: It grows especially on limestone rocks.

Description: The pygmy Joshua tree (Sedum multiceps) is an Algerian stonecrop of unusual growth. It forms mats of congested woody stems set with foliage-tipped branches and covered in August with large yellow stars. Most of the tiny leaves are in clusters near the tips of the branches, giving the appearance of a miniature "Joshua Trees" (Yucca brevifolia) that grow in the American Southwest.
Habit: Sedum multiceps is a perennial partly deciduous hairless, much-branched sub-shrub. The leafy non-flowering shoots are erect or ascending, much branched, and end in a densely imbricate tuft of leaves and rarely grows more than 15 cm hight, but spreads rapidly when well sited.
Stem: It has a thick, trunk-like main stem with short branches, becoming brown and woody.
Leaves: Alternate, fleshy, very densely arranged, linear-oblong, obtuse glaucous greyish-green, Papillose, 6 mm lomg with a flat upper surface.
Flowers: Stalkless, star-shaped, bright yellow, about 13 mm across. Petal oblong-lanceolate, mucronate, wide-spreading.
Blooming season: It flowers during summer months.
