Dudleya campanulata is a species of perennial succulent plant known by the common name as the Punta Banda liveforever, native to Baja California and endemic to the Punta Banda peninsula, a promontory south of Ensenada that encloses the southern limit of the Bahía de Todos Santos, a deepwater bay.

One of many species of Dudleya native to the peninsula and surrounding islands, it is distinguished by its campanulate flowers and its occupation of a narrow habitat that consists of ocean bluffs on the southern end of the Punta Banda, near the well-known blowhole La Bufadora.

[1] The caudex of Dudleya campanulata is 7 to 18 mm thick, clothed with dried foliage, and branched into mound-like clumps of up to 150 rosettes, which are each 3 to 8 cm wide.

Leaves are oblong-lanceolate, acute, apiculate, or semiterete, 2 to 4 cm long, 6 to 13 mm wide in the middle, flattish ventrally and rounded dorsally.

The young botanist Reid Moran collected notes and photos of the plant, but because the source remained unknown, he was unable to publish it as a species nova.

Over 40 years later, in May of 1977, while documenting the flora of the Punta Banda peninsula, Moran rediscovered the unknown plant growing on the bluffs.

Moran, who described the species, held a theory that D. campanulata may be a hybrid related to D. attenuata, D. virens subsp hassei and a member of the Dudleya subgenera.
