"Altamiranoa" was a genus of the Crassulaceae, that Joseph Nelson Rose proposed in the early 1900's for 12 Mexican species, three described as new and nine formerly in Cotyledon, Sedum, or Umbilicus. The name was dedicated to Fernando Altamirano, a Mexican physician, botanist and naturalist that co-worked with J. N. Rose.

Baehni (1937) united the genus Altamiranoa with Villadia, but Walther (1938) refuted the argument and proposed the combined genus be called Altamiranoa. In 1940, Clausen agreed Baehni proposal. Recently, Moran (1996) and Uhl and Moran (1999) argued that all species of Altamiranoa are best dispersed in Sedum genus, but maintained the differences with Villadia genus.
