Perhaps yes, although petals look shorter and broader. My query about 5 stamens was correct. FBI puts it under Cotyledon oreades and writes:
This species has habit altogether of Sedum, but it could not be put there because it has only 5 stamens; neither can it be put under Crassula because Crassula has always opposite leaves. The upper congested leaves give impression of opposite leaves but lower leaves seen last photograph appear alternate. It is now known that the species may have 10 stamens or 5 reduced to staminodes. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
