Dudleya pauciflora is a species of succulent plant in the stonecrop family known by the common name few-flower liveforever.

It is characterized by its small crowded rosettes of narrow leaves and its colorful inflorescence with red-yellow flowers.

[1] The caudex is short, measuring 0.7–2.5 cm (0.28–0.98 in) thick, and densely clothed with persistent dried leaves.

The petals are yellow within, while the keels are flushed with red, giving an orange or reddish appearance to the corolla.

[1] Townshend Stith Brandegee, a noted botanist and explorer of the Baja California Peninsula, collected this plant in May 1893, at a locality some 200 km south of the United States-Mexico border in the Sierra de San Pedro Martir.

[1] Dr. Joseph Nelson Rose, in his revision of the North American Crassulaceae with Nathaniel Lord Britton, named this plant from Brandegee's specimen.

Reid Moran noted that the species does not, in fact, have notably few flowers, but that the epithet was a result of the poor type specimen Rose was working off of.

240 km (150 mi) to the south-southeast, in the Sierra de San Borja, this species is found on the highest peak in the range, the Cerro la Sandia.
