Hylotelephium maximum and Hylotelephium jullianum are rather similar species. The essential distinguishing feature is that in Hylotelephium maximum the sepals are only fused at the very base, whereas the sepals of Hylotelephium jullianum are fused together a little further up. This can be seen when looking at a single flower or fruit from the side (Fig. 4). In Hylotelephium maximum the flowers are more white, in Hylotelephium jullianum more yellow-green. According to my current knowledge other morphological characteristics do not allow to separate the two species with certainty. Hylotelephium maximum is rather a plant of rocky habitats, while Hylotelephium jullianum tends to grow at meadow edges and shrub borders.
