About Dudleya abramsii Rose
Dudleya abramsii Rose is a fleshy perennial plant that grows a small basal cluster of leaves around a central caudex. It grows either as solitary rosettes or in caespitose, clumped forms. Its thick, glaucous leaves are lance-oblong to lanceolate; they can reach up to 11 centimeters in length, but are often much smaller, typically 2 to 30 millimeters long and 3 to 20 millimeters wide. The entire rosette is generally 0.5 to 15 centimeters wide. The inflorescence is a mostly erect, branching stem lined with pointed bracts, and holds up to 15 flowers. This inflorescence has a peduncle 2 to 25 centimeters tall and 1 to 6 millimeters wide. The lower bracts measure 4 to 40 millimeters across, and the pedicels range from 0.5 to 7 millimeters in length. Each flower has five small, thick sepals at the base of five pale to cream yellow petals, each of which is roughly 8 to 13 millimeters long. The keel of the flower is marked with fine purple to red lines. Dudleya abramsii is native to California and northern Baja California, where it grows in rocky areas across a number of habitat types.
