Huangli, Qiuli and California Sunset are often confused with one another. Huangli and Mingyue both belong to the "genus Sedum";  Qiuli and California Sunset are both hybrids of the ''genus Graptopetalum and the genus Sedum"; but strangely, Qiuli has the yellow 5-pointed star flower of the genus Sedum, while Huangli, Mingyue and California Sunset have white 5-pointed star flowers.

 

Abundant sunlight has quite a big effect on Crassulaceae:

"Qiuli" has yellow flowers, and as soon as the weather turns cold "Qiuli" leaves turn red; "Qiuli" leaves are rather slender and narrow, somewhat club-shaped.
 

  "Huangli" has been grown for many years and counts as an old clump; 8 months ago it was lush and green, "Huangli" leaves are plump and full with orange-red leaf margins, "Huangli" leaves are rather wide and thick in the middle section, "Huangli" leaves have a somewhat translucent look.

  The red leaves in winter are very beautiful; this is "California Sunset", an extremely vigorous variety; "California Sunset" leaves are rather flat and the color is more orange-yellow, and when the weather is cold it also gets a red blush; "California Sunset" blooms with white flowers that are larger than Qiuli's yellow flowers.
