Sedum acre, commonly known as goldmoss stonecrop or biting stonecrop, is a perennial flowering plant native to Europe, northern and western Asia, and North Africa. It is also naturalized in other regions such as North America, southern South America, Japan, and New Zealand. The plant forms mat-like stands with short, semi-prostrate stems that lengthen during the flowering period in June and July. The leaves are fleshy, cylindrical, and sometimes tinged with red. The starry yellow flowers form a three to six-flowered cyme, and the plant contains an acrid fluid that can cause skin rashes.
