Dudleya campanulata
A small, clump-forming succulent from a tiny coastal area of Baja California, grown for its rosettes and branched flower stems. Give it sharp drainage and bright light, and keep it dry.
Dudleya campanulata is a species of perennial succulent plant known by the common name as the Punta Banda liveforever, native to Baja California and endemic to the Punta Banda peninsula, a promontory south of Ensenada that encloses the southern limit of the Bahía de Todos Santos, a deepwater bay. One of many species of Dudleya native to the peninsula and surrounding islands, it is distinguished by its campanulate flowers and its occupation of a narrow habitat that consists of ocean bluffs on the southern end of the Punta Banda, near the well-known blowhole La Bufadora.
Dudleya campanulata is endemic to the Cape Punta Banda, a promontory that shelters the southern limit of the Todos Santos Bay, a deepwater bay with the city of Ensenada along its coast. D. campanulata occupies a very local area, restricted to the igneous ocean cliffs facing the west to the Pacific Ocean and sea stacks on the southern side of the cape. Other species of Dudleya occur on the Punta Banda and the surrounding vicinity, some of which freely hybridize with each other. Dudleya anomala is one of these very niche Dudleyas occurring in the vicinity, albeit it represents a rare mainland occurrence of an insular species from Todos Santos Island.
