All I can say with confidence is that the images were not of Sedum oreades.
Rhodiolas and Sedum are really troublesome. It will be a while before I am in
a position tocomment further about most other Rhodiolas but am working on it.
Needs time, concentrationand reflection - no purpose in rushing to make claims
I cannot substantiate/support and thuscontributing further to the difficulties.

Chadwell ji,
Thanks for pointing out the mess. Indeed, the plant on FOI should be
Rhodiola wallichiana. Sedum oreades should look like this:

I will make the correction on FOI.
Cheers!

The image on the FOI site has been misidentified - it is a Rhodiola - nothing
like Sedum oreadessee: http://www.flowersofindia.net/

The first 4 google images for Sedum oreades on 'The Plant List' site are
incorrect - the line drawingfrom Harvard is OK!
Two of the images are by a Dr B.Singh from VOF.
No wonder people are confused. There is a specimen collected by Hooker in
Sikkim on the Kew sitebut such low resolution as to being virtually of no use -
and few can relate to shrivelled up Crassulaceae specimens.
