This species is characterized by oblong, narrow green leaves and flowers with pale yellow petals that bloom from April to June.

It is native to Baja California, occurring on the coast from Punta Colonet and San Quintin to El Rosario.

[1] Like most other evergreen Dudleya, this species grows as a leaf succulent with a basal rosette of leaves on top of a caudex.

The margins are acute in the lower fourth of the leaf, but rounded above, the apex sub-terete.

The cauline leaves are positioned horizontal to ascending, shaped triangular and acute, the lowermost being about 1–2 cm (0.39–0.79 in) long and 5 mm (0.20 in) wide.

[4] This species bears a close resemblance to the inland form of Dudleya ingens, differing in its coastal habit and more yellowish flowers.

Its northern range is near Colonet, and it can be found south in the El Rosario coast as well.
