San gabriel mountains liveforever (Dudleya densiflora)
Description
Dudleya densiflora is a unique plant, different in appearance from most other dudleyas with its long, snakelike leaves. Each leaf is up to 15 centimeters long and cylindric up to its pointed tip, and it is covered with a soft, grainy powder. (Dudleya edulis also has cylindrical pointed leaves, often longer, but lacks the grainy powder). From this clump of leaves emerges an erect stem with a branched inflorescence, each branch bearing 2 to 8 light colored flowers, usually very light pink to white.
