Dudleya formosa, known by the common name La Misión liveforever, is a species of perennial succulent plant endemic to the Guadalupe Valley in Baja California.

[2] Dudleya formosa has a trailing caudex, 0.5 to 2.5 cm thick, becoming over 5 decimeters (dm) long, branching to form a loose, prostrate mound that can reach up to several hundred rosettes.

Foliage is a bright green, and like other Dudleya the leaves are tinged with a red hue at the tips and margins.

[2] Delving further into D. formosa's leaf morphology, leaves are convex below (ventrally), and flat above (dorsally).

[2][3] Dudleya formosa was discovered in July 1945 by a Mr. Fred Wylie, who sent the specimen to the San Diego Natural History Museum.

[4] Dudleya formosa finds itself distinguished from other members in its clade through its short and broad rosette leaves.

The dense inflorescence, stout pedicels, and pink, spreading petals further separate it as a species.
