Stonecrop (Sedum/Amerosedum lanceolatum)
The entire plant can be eaten if needed; however, there have been cases which produced vomiting
and diarrhea. The leaves have been used externally to treat cuts, stings, and minor burns. The roots
could be boiled, and the resulting tea can be used to gargle 5 to 10 times twice a day in order to relieve
sore throats.
The palmate (larger) leaves are not our plant's. Yellow stonecrop leaves are small and succulent. You can
see them above the lowest flower in the picture.
