Sedum dendroideum, commonly known as the tree stonecrop[1] or the false hens-and-chickens, is a shrub-like perennial plant that looks much like its Sempervivum look-alike. Native to Mexico,[2] Sedum dendroideum plant thrives in warm, arid climates, as well as in cooler climates. It has been naturalized to California,[3] and Ohio.

Uses

In traditional Brazilian medicine, the fresh juice from the leaves of the tree stonecrop plant is used for the treatment of gastric and inflammatory disorders.[Clarification needed] In 2005, a medical research paper was released studying its uses, finding it had antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects in mice.
