Garg Ji I am not comfortable with nomenclatural technicalities regarding this plant. As per the Pusalkar & Singh 2012: *Rhodiola fui* Boriss. in Novit. Syst. Pl. Vasc. Acad. Sci. URSS 6: 114. 1969. is where it was named. And this plant is different from R. sinuata (Royle ex Edgew.) S.H.Fu (synonym Sedum linearifolium, Sedum trifidum, Rhodiola linearifolia (Royle) S.H.Fu) which have sinuately lobed leaves. In our case leaves are without such lobation. TPL, Nepal's Checklist etc and many others have these two different plants under the same name but Singh, N.B., Bhattacharyya, U.C. and Uniyal B.P. in *Crassulaceae of India* treat them separate which is followed by Pusalkar and Singh (2012). Since I do not have Crassulaceae of India, can not say more on this.
