Dudleya setchellii
Also called Santa Clara Valley liveforever, Santa Clara Valley Dudleya
Santa Clara Valley dudleya is a rare, rosette-forming succulent native only to serpentine grassland outcrops in southern Santa Clara County, California, and is listed as endangered. It is grown mainly by specialist collectors, and it needs very sharp drainage and full sun.
Dudleya abramsii subsp. setchellii, known by common name as the Santa Clara Valley dudleya or Santa Clara Valley liveforever, is a member of the Dudleya genus of succulent perennials, members of the family Crassulaceae. The Santa Clara Valley dudleya, endemic to the Santa Clara Valley region in the southern San Francisco Bay Area, was listed on 3 February 1995, as an endangered species. It is considered to be a subspecies of Dudleya abramsii, but its taxonomic status is still unclear. Its closest relative is Dudleya cymosa subsp. paniculata, which is a morphologically similar sister taxon.
Dudleya abramsii subsp. setchellii is found only in the Coyote Valley area of southern Santa Clara County, California, mostly on rocky outcrops within serpentine grasslands on Tulare Hill and the Santa Teresa Hills west of Coyote Creek in south San Jose and south of Metcalf Canyon east of Coyote Creek.
