It is a plant with an unbranching stem and elliptical leaves occurring in Green Canyon and the nearby plateaus.

[3] This plant typically emerges from a singular rosette, with an unbranching and very short caudex 10 to 15 mm wide.

[3] Some of the plants occurring near Baldwin Lake have been regarded by some authors as Dudleya baldwinensis.

[5] Plants with up to 50 rosettes occurring on limestone in Cushenbury Canyon may actually be Dudleya abramsii subsp.

It can be found on north-facing slopes from 1800 to 2600 meters in elevation, on outcrops of granitic and quartzite rocks.
