Stems above ground, caudices, branching, elongate. Leaves persistent; petiole absent; blade laminar or terete distal to clasping base, turgid ± throughout. Cymes: branches 2-several, simple or bifurcate; cincinni not or scarcely circinate. Pedicels erect, mostly less than 3 mm. Flowers: petals ascending, outcurved, or spreading from near middle, corolla widely open; pistils (well separated), usually not connivent (connivent in D. virens), ascending to spreading in flower and fruit, somewhat gibbous adaxially in fruit.
Distribution
sw Calif., nw Mexico.
Discussion
Species 9 (6 in the flora).
Primitive members of subg. Stylophyllum, such as Dudleya virens, have open corollas, with petals spreading from near the middle, in contrast to the prismatic or tubular corollas of subg. Dudleya. Also included in this subgenus, for want of a better place, are the tetraploid D. traskiae and two Mexican polyploids, all with campanulate, and thus intermediate, corollas. These are taken to be allopolyploids between members of subg. Dudleya and primitive members of subg. Stylophyllum. More-advanced members are those with cylindric leaves, ending with D. attenuata, which also has the most reduced inflorescence.
