"This plant was first discovered by Carl Albert Purpus at a sulfur spring in a ravine at Zacualpan in Veracruz, Mexico in 1906 or 1907 but was later described in 1923 by the German botanist Bitter who named it for Ernst Nussbaumer, the head gardener at the Bremen Botanic Garden in Germany."[4]
Sedum adolphi similarities & controversy

In Henk't Hart and Bert Bleij's work, "Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants: Crassulacae" and noted S. nussbaumerianum to be very similar or identical in appearance to S.adolphi. However, Robert Clausen in "Sedum of North America North of the Mexican Plateau" treated them as a separate species in his book because of differences in their inflorescences. His work stated that S. nussbaumerianum's petals all in the same plane, but S. adolphi has petals at different levels in cymes.[6]
