| Dudleya pulverulenta (Nutt.) Britt. & Rose |
Dudleya pulverulenta is a succulent plant known by the common names chalk lettuce and chalk liveforever. This dudleya is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, where it is found in rocky areas in coastal and inland mountains and desert foothills. It grows a rosette of wide, flat fleshy leaves of pale green which age to a pinkish papery texture. It produces one to many tall erect stems which are similar in color. The epidermis of the plant is covered with a dense coating of chalky, powdery wax. Its pale green or white nodding or erect inflorescences bear many pinkish flowers, each on a long pedicel.
