saxosa is a species of succulent perennial plant endemic only to the western Panamint Range of California.
The flower has petals that are 9 to 12 mm long, colored bright yellow, and generally tinged with red.
[1][2] This species was described as Cotyledon saxosum by Marcus E. Jones, based on a plant he found growing in Panamint Canyon in 1897.
[3] In their revision of North American Crassulaceae, Nathaniel Lord Britton and Joseph Nelson Rose placed this species as Dudleya saxosa.
[5] The plant is a well-isolated polyploid compared to the other subspecies of Dudleya saxosa, differing in its smaller size.
