Lenophyllum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae. The roughly seven species it contains are distributed in Texas in the United States and northeastern Mexico.{{cite web |url=http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=117955 |first=Reid V. |last=Moran |title=Lenophyllum Rose, Smithsonian Misc. Collect. 47: 159, figs. 18, 19, plate 20. 1904. |work=Flora of North America |publisher=eFloras |access-date=2011-05-20}} Some authorities place it in the genus Sedum. Plants in this genus are distinguished from Sedum species by the presence of terminal inflorescences, erect petals, and opposite leaves.{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Jo9VgQAsMtkC |title=Sedum: Cultivated Stonecrops |first=Ray |last=Stephenson |publisher=Timber Press |year=1994 |isbn=978-0-88192-238-7 |pages=71–73}} The name is derived from the Ancient Greek words ληνός (lenos), meaning "trough", and φύλλον (phyllon), meaning "leaf."
