Distinguishing Feature :

You are more likely to come across this plant in a garden, or recently escaped from one, evading re-capture.

Like most Stonecrops, this plant has 5 petals, which are narrow and pointed. The flowers are a brighter yellow than the similar Biting Stonecrop, but its leaves are more similar to those of the red/purple flowered Caucasian Stonecrop: spoon-shaped with deepish forward-pointing teeth.

Its' name is derived from the Kamchatka Peninsula, in Russia, presumably where it was first found.
