Based on literature research, specimen identification and field investigation, we systematically cleared up the early researches of Sedum L. and conducted an overview for the species diversity of Sedum in Guangxi. There are 17 species were confirmed, among which six species were newly recorded. The research brief histories of Sedum taxonomy in Guangxi were summarized, information for S. polytrichoides Hemsl. was revised. Six newly recorded species of Sedum were reported here, which were S. leblancae Hamet., S. lipingense R. B. Zhang, D. Tan & R. X. Wei, S. lungtsuanense S. H. Fu, S. makinoi Maxim., S. subtile Miq., S. tosaense Makino, and the morphological feature diagnosis and color photographs for these newly recorded species were provided. The species diversity and the potential utilization of Sedum in Guangxi were discussed, and key for species and the distribution of each taxa in Guangxi were provided. This study provides background information for the subsequent research and utilization of this genus.
