In 2020, posts on social media pointed to shipments of Dudleya candelabrum (candleholder liveforever) harvested from California and destined for sale in Korea. Candleholder liveforever is restricted to San Miguel, Santa Rosa, and Santa Cruz Islands off the coast of Ventura County.
In 2020, for example, posts on social media suggested that shipments of candleholder dudleya (Dudleya candelabrum), a species restricted to San Miguel, Santa Rosa, and Santa Cruz Islands off the coast of Ventura County, were destined for sale overseas.
In a recent greenhouse study, conducted in Santa Cruz, California, by Stephen McCabe and Rachel Ormes, D. parva was rooted from the leaves of the plant, making it the only known species in the Dudleya subgenus to exhibit this behavior (McCabe in litt. 2008a).
The green "form" of this species should likely be recognized as a separate species but the description by P.H. Thomson apparently lacks a designated type and may be invalidly published.
Dudleyas are also known as "liveforevers" due to their individual longevity and hardiness, a somewhat deceptive name given the rarity of many species.
