This member of the
Crassulaceae family was
given this name
by Nathaniel Lord Britton in 1903. It is found on the four Coronado
Islands, out of the northern part of Baja
California. It grows in a well drained soil with some water and some
to lots of sun. The swollen stem can grow to five centimetres in
diameter and 30 centimetres high. The flowers are green to pale yellow, and it can be
reproduced both by seeds and offsets.
This is a
winter-grower.
The genera honours Professor
William R. Dudley, 1849-1911, a US-American botanist at Standford
University. The specific epithet
means 'pure white', for the leaves.

The
close related Dudleya brittonii, Frits Johansen 1933,
found in Southern California and Mexico.
This one found by
Herbert Snorkledink near Ensenada, Baja California.
It is the green form
- unless it is a hybrid with other Dudleya species; they
tend to intergrade. |
