Dudleya caespitosa, also known as sea lettuce, sand lettuce, and coast dudleya, is a succulent plant endemic to California. It grows along the coastline in the southern half of the state and is closely related to other species such as Dudleya farinosa and Dudleya greenei. This species is highly variable and can form solitary rosettes or clumps of up to 150 rosettes. The plant has lance-oblong or oblong leaves with acute tips and bright yellow to orange yellow or red flowers. It was first described in 1803 and is part of a polyploid complex involving several neighboring taxa. Its distribution is difficult to determine due to arbitrary characteristics used to differentiate it from other species. It is commonly found along the coast of California, and has shown some tolerance to phytotoxic emissions from oil refineries due to its use of CAM photosynthesis.
