Dudleya anthonyi
Anthony's liveforever is a rosette-forming succulent from the San Quintín area of Baja California, known for chalky white leaves and long red, hummingbird-pollinated flowers. Grow it in bright, dry conditions with sharp drainage and water sparingly.
Dudleya anthonyi is a species of perennial succulent plant known commonly as the San Quintín liveforever. It is endemic to the San Quintín volcanic field, which encompasses the Bahia San Quintín and the adjacent Isla San Martín in Baja California. Dudleya anthonyi is a relatively large rosette-forming succulent and is characterized by its leaves and inflorescences that are coated in a white, chalky powder. It is quite similar to its close relative, the widespread Dudleya pulverulenta, but Dudleya anthonyi is distinguished by its narrower and acute basal leaves and bracts, along with narrower and pointed sepals and petals. Like its close relative, Dudleya anthonyi is one of the few members of the genus Dudleya that have a pollination syndrome almost exclusively favoring hummingbird pollinators, adaptations which are reflected by its long, red, and pendent flowers.
Dudleya anthonyi occurs is restricted to the San Quintín volcanic field, the scope of which includes the island of San Martin and the adjacent coast and peninsulas in the San Quintin Bay. The plant has a tendency to occur, like other Dudleya, on cliffs and canyons.
