Dudleya cymosa subsp. crebrifolia
San Gabriel River dudleya is a rare, small succulent rosette endemic to a few granitic canyons near Azusa in Los Angeles County, California. It is grown mainly by specialist collectors and native plant gardeners, and it needs sharp drainage and strong light.
Dudleya cymosa subsp. crebrifolia is a subspecies of succulent plant commonly known as the San Gabriel River dudleya. Endemic to Los Angeles County, California, this very distinct subspecies is only known from the granitic slopes of a few canyons at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains near Azusa. It is characterized by the tightly spaced bracts along its inflorescence and its mustard-yellow flowers that bloom from late June to July. It grows with another rare endemic, Dudleya densiflora.
Dudleya cymosa subsp. crebrifolia is a narrow endemic to Los Angeles County, California, where it is only found in a small number of canyons at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains near Azusa. There are six known occurrences, most of which are on U.S. Forest Service land, but a small number are on private property. The populations on private property are threatened by mining, particularly at the type locality of Fish Canyon, where a granite quarry operates.
