About Dudleya cymosa (Lem.) Britton & Rose
Dudleya cymosa (Lem.) Britton & Rose is a distinctive succulent plant that produces erect red-orange stems growing from a gray-green basal rosette. Small yellowish-red, thimble-shaped flowers grow at the tops of the stems arranged in a cyme inflorescence. Some of its subspecies are classified as threatened in local areas. This species acts as a host plant for the larvae of the Sonoran blue butterfly, Philotes sonorensis, which belongs to the family Lycaenidae, and forms part of this butterfly's habitat.
