Dudleya guadalupensis

A small rosette Dudleya endemic to Guadalupe Island off Baja California, now surviving mostly on cliffs and islets that feral goats could not reach. It lives in a cool, foggy, almost frost-free maritime climate with a little winter rain. Many plants sold under this name are actually Dudleya greenei.
