Taxonomic CommentsSedum kiersteadiae was described by Wilson et al. (2014). Zika et al. (2018) refine the concept explaining "after extensive field work from 2011 to 2016, we revised 17 members of the group using floral and vegetative characters, resulting in the acceptance of four new taxa in California. A serpentine endemic from the mountains of western Tehama County was recognized as S. rubiginosum. It was separated from S. kiersteadiae by its dense rosettes, overlapping stem leaves and non-apiculate corolla".
