Dudleya anomala

Dudleya anomala is a rare species of succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae commonly known as the Todos Santos liveforever.

With a dense, cushion-forming habit, this leaf succulent is characterized by elongated stems, slightly sticky leaves, and bell-shaped flowers with white, spreading petals.

[1] Dudleya anomala is a rosette-forming leaf succulent that grows in a caespitose habit, with the stems branching to form dense cushions of rosettes 3–4 dm (12–16 in) in diameter.

[2] D. anomala possesses slightly viscid (sticky) and odorous foliage, a trait only shared by the aptly-named Dudleya viscida.

[2] Reid Moran wrote a more complete description of the species in 1943, and recognized it as a Dudleya, creating the current combination.

[2] On the Isla Todos Santos, the plant is found densely covering rocks and cliffs on northern and eastern exposures.

[8] On the Punta Banda, this species is found on steep, north-facing beach cliffs overlooking the Todos Santos Bay.
