Dudleya densiflora, also known as the San Gabriel Mountains liveforever or San Gabriel Mountains dudleya, is a rare succulent plant found only in the San Gabriel Mountains of Los Angeles County, California. It has a clumping growth habit with long, pencil-shaped leaves covered in a white, waxy powder. The plant produces white to pink flowers from spring to June. It is threatened by human activity, such as rock quarrying and off-trail recreation, and is only found in three to five spots in the mountain range with an estimated 1,700 individual plants remaining. Its habitat consists of sheer rock faces and cliffs made of granitic rock. One of the main threats to this species is a granite quarry that was permitted in 1956, which blocks the entrance to Fish Canyon where the plant is also found growing with another endemic Dudleya species.
