Dudleya gatesii, known by the common name as Gates' liveforever, is a species of perennial succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae.

It is characterized by red inflorescences topped with white flowers, bracts that are often reflexed downwards, and a rosette of dark-green leaves turning reddish.

[2][3] The type specimen of this species was collected by Howard E. Gates in 1931, the locality given being a granitic hill by the El Barril road, 15 miles east of Calmalli, Baja California.

Apparently the type specimen is lost, but the plant was recorded in habitat from a photograph taken by Gates, showcasing the reflexed bracts and immature inflorescences.

[4] Dudleya gatesii grows along dry and rocky outcroppings, being easily distinguishable by the white flowers and red stalks.
