About the genus · Dudleya

Dudleya, commonly known as liveforevers, is a genus of rosette-forming succulent plants in the stonecrop family, Crassulaceae, consisting of about ~70 taxa found in southwestern North America and Guadalupe Island. The genus is very morphologically diverse, with species ranging from large evergreen plants to tiny deciduous geophytic plants. The flowers of Dudleya have parts numbered in fives, with the petals arranged in tubular, star-shaped, or bell-shaped forms and, when fruiting, are filled with tiny, crescent-shaped seeds.

Cultivation

Grouped as a cactus or succulent by the genus Dudleya, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum, and no habitat climate is derived yet; no cold floor is given, and no prose comes from the table.

Nothing derived: no habitat climate for this species, and the archetype table has no figure for its genus or family.

Climate across the habitat

No habitat climate can be derived: 20 in-range records, none placed to within 10 km.

Natural habitat

Native range as published by WCVP; the marker is where the records are densest and decides nothing.

Evidence usedThe map marker rests on all 20 georeferenced records inside the native range; the map shows only the 2 openly licensed ones, which alone would put the marker 3 km away. No climate envelope is derived for this species. 20 in-range records are placed to worse than 10 km and stay on the map but off the climate.
