Dudleya blochmaniae subsp. brevifolia Moran [1] [2]

Dudleya brevifolia, [1] [2] is a rare succulent plant known by the common name short-leaved liveforever, short-leaved dudleya or rarely the Del Mar Hasseanthus. [3] It is an edaphic endemic that only grows on Lindavista formation marine terraces, on surfaces with ironstone nodules. The leaves are deciduous, and disappear after the inflorescence develops. The small white flowers are star-shaped with a yellow center. After flowering, any above ground trace of the plant will disappear, and it survives under the earth with a starch-rich subterranean caudex. Dudleya brevifolia is only found on coastal mesas along a small strip of coast in San Diego County, California.

It was formerly a subspecies of the similar Dudleya blochmaniae , and was not recognized as a distinct species because both plants grew and hybridized together. [4] However, the habitats with the intermediate populations were razed for residential development, and with these populations destroyed, Dudleya blochmaniae subsp. brevifolia was elevated to species status as Dudleya brevifolia. [5] Populations continued to be extirpated until the plant was protected. Currently, Dudleya brevifolia is only found in 5 locations in the world, in an area roughly 8 square miles (21 square kilometres) centered around Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. It is of conservation concern, as the remaining populations have become fragmented and are threatened by continued disturbance and declining populations at some sites. [6]

In comparison with a ruler, demonstrating the minuscule size of this succulent.

This species is unique as the smallest member of the Dudleya . It is characterized by the ultimate leaf reduction in the genus, having the smallest and most divergent leaf type, which are often almost buried in the soil, and connected to the stem by long petioles. This species is neotenous, with the adult leaves essentially remaining unchanged from the juvenile leaves. [7]

The leaves are deciduous, and expire towards the summer months. The flowering period usually begins as early as April, and continues through June, with seeds being set in June and July. The populations at Carmel Mountain Preserve tend to flower earlier than those near the coast. [8] [2]

Morphology

While the majority of species of Dudleya tend to have woody, above-ground stems, in this species the stem has been reduced to a subterranean, corm-like structure. This corm is elongate, and measures 1.5–3.5 cm (0.59–1.38 in) long by 1–6 mm (0.039–0.236 in). Emerging from the corm are the rosettes of basal leaves, with usually one rosette of leaves per plant, but sometimes increasing to up to 3. The rosettes measure 0.5–4 cm (0.20–1.57 in) wide. There are 5 to 15 basal leaves, more or less spheric to spoon-shaped distally, which are usually buried in the soil except for the top surface of each leaf blade. The leaves measure 0.7–1.5 cm (0.28–0.59 in) long by 2–7 mm (0.079–0.276 in) wide and 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) thick. The leaves have a long, narrow petiole connecting them to the stem. [1] [7]

The peduncle is 2–11 cm (0.79–4.33 in) tall by 0.5–1 mm (0.020–0.039 in). The peduncle is covered in 10 to 20 bracts. The bracts are shaped triangular-ovate to sub-orbiculate (nearly circular) or reniform (kidney-shaped). The bracts measure 0.2–1 cm (0.079–0.394 in) long by 2.5–8 mm (0.098–0.315 in) wide and 2–6 mm (0.079–0.236 in) thick, with the tip of bracts obtuse. The lower bracts are less than 1.5 × longer than they are wide. The terminal branches (cincinni) on the inflorescence, of which there are typically very few, measure 1–4 cm (0.39–1.57 in) long and have 3 to 10 flowers. [1] [7]

The flowers are white and star-shaped, with a yellow center. The petals are connate 0.7 mm (0.028 in), and spread from near the middle. They are white, colored pinkish on the keel, turning yellow towards the center, and are also often lined with red. The shape of the petals is elliptic, and they measure 5–8.5 mm (0.20–0.33 in) long by 2–3.5 mm (0.079–0.138 in) wide, with the apex subobtuse. The entire corolla measures 8–15 mm (0.31–0.59 in) in diameter. The flowers tend to have a musky-sweet odor. [7]

Taxonomy

Taxonomic history

The plant was first collected by F. W. Peirson at Torrey Pines in 1922. Willis L. Jepson, in line with the common scientific view at the time, regarded the plant as a new species of Sedum. Specimens later discovered in the area were unable to be distinguished from Hasseanthus blochmaniae (Blochman's dudleya). [4]

The genus Hasseanthus, now moved into a subgenus of Dudleya, includes plants characterized by a geophytic habit. A 1950 treatment of the plant by Reid Moran would then place it under the subspecies brevifolia of H. blochmaniae, noting some significant morphological differences. The genus Hasseanthus would later become a subgenera of Dudleya. [4]

By 1975, Moran's assessment of the species in the journal Baileya was more grim. Lamenting the "progress of civilization," he reconsidered it as a species in its own right, noting that the destruction of the introgressive populations that graded into Blochman's dudleya made these plants distinct enough to be deemed a species. [5]

Hybridization

Two species of deciduous Dudleya graded into the population of Dudleya brevifolia. Hybrids with Dudleya edulis have also been reported. [7]

D. brevifolia × blochmaniae

One population approached Dudleya blochmaniae at a mesa east of La Jolla. The plants flowered three to four weeks earlier than the other populations of D. brevifolia, and had a different growth habit, being primarily found in depressions on the mesa. Compared to brevifolia, their rosettes and cauline leaves were slightly longer and narrower. The basal leaves and corms approached brevifolia. [9] Moran noted how it was difficult to distinguish brevifolia from blochmaniae until the advent of land development in the area extirpated the populations that transitioned between the two. [4] [5]

D. brevifolia × variegata

The plant was also known to grade into Dudleya variegata abundantly at a vernal pool-like depression north of Eastgate Mall road and west of the I-805 near Miramar and the Sorrento Valley. [10] [11] [3] The location is now an office park. [12] The hybrids possessed intermediate traits. [11] [13]

Distribution and habitat

The plant is endemic to coastal sage scrub habitats in southern California, found only in an extremely limited range within southwestern San Diego County. [2] It is found at Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve in the La Jolla neighborhood of the City of San Diego, and several sites in Del Mar, both coastal communities within the county. [8] [14]

It is only found on bare surface hardpans of Torrey sandstone with minimal topsoil, from 30–250 metres (98–820 ft) in elevation. [8] Small marble-sized, ironstone concretions are present at all sites and are likely an edaphic requirement.

Ira L. Wiggins reported this species in his Flora of Baja California to be growing on sandstone bluffs and stony habitats along the coast of northwestern Baja California, [15] but no specimens have been found to corroborate this claim. [16]

Ecology

Phenology

As this plant is a geophyte, occupying a habitat consisting mostly of hardpan substrata, it has an unusual growth habit in which once the tuberous, underground stems hit the hardpan, they will then spread out horizontally along the surface of the impenetrable substrate. In areas with the most shallow soil that is still conducive to growth, this plant tends to have incredibly irregular stems. [17]

Annual growth begins after the first autumn rains, but this can be disturbed by any mid-winter drought conditions. If the plants are disturbed by any winter droughts, they will return to dormancy and wait until the next suitable growing season. This is most common in smaller plants, whilst larger plants will usually retain their leaves even through mid-winter droughts. This response may be mistaken for the death of plants, which are in fact dormant underground. [17]

Timing of rains may be more important than the quantity. Years with consistent and evenly spaced autumn-winter rains correlate with the most flowering individuals. Likewise, lack of precipitation in the middle of winter is associated with less plants flowering. In any given year, 10% to 30% of individuals will flower. This means that population estimates made from flowering plants may significantly undercount the number of individuals. [17]

Reproductive biology

This plant may reproduce through seed or via vegetative means. The vast majority of Dudleya species have difficulty in rooting from detached leaves, a trait that distinguished them from Echeveria in early taxonomic studies. In most rosette-forming evergreen Dudleya, the leaves will simply callous, wrinkle, and die. [18] However, some species, especially deciduous ones, may reproduce readily from detached leaves. One to three weeks after the leaves are detached from the plant, roots will emerge from the petiole base. [17]

Seeds are typically dispersed by wind or water. The seeds are small, but are larger in comparison to other members of Dudleya, as plant size is inversely correlated with seed size. [19] The dried inflorescences may detach and tumble along the sandy mesas, which presumably may disperse seed. [17]

Many pollinators make visits to the flowers of D. brevifolia. These include bee flies (Bombyliidae), hover flies, soft-winged flower beetles ( Dasytes species, within the family Melyridae), western honey bees, bumble bees and digger bees (tribe Anthrophorini). [17]

Conservation

A population at Carmel Mountain, looking southwest to Torrey Pines.

The topography of coastal San Diego County is often challenging for urban development, with steep canyons shearing through flat mesas. The mesas, while suitable for development, were also an important location for vernal pools and other open habitats. Populations of deciduous Dudleya, like the variegated liveforever, Blochman's dudleya, and the many-stem dudleya, are resident to many of the vernal pools and clearings on top of these mesas, with the short-leaved dudleya representing a group localized to the bare surface hardpans of sandstone from Torrey Pines to La Jolla. [4] [5]

Their population is highly dependent on rainfall, exploding in population when there is annual rainfall over 10 inches, and drastically shrinking when there is less than 4 inches of annual rainfall. The species is seriously threatened by urbanization, vehicles, foot traffic, and fire break construction. [8]

Total population estimates vary by year and by the researcher. [20] Extensive studies have been completed on Carmel Mountain in the Carmel Valley community of San Diego. The Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) of San Diego County estimated the Carmel Mountain population at just 1446 individuals in 2002, and at 113,134 individuals in 2006. [21] Most recently, in 2008, UCLA faculty Dr. Hartmut S. Walter and Matthew Luskin estimated the Carmel Mountain population at over 100,000 individuals. [8] [22]

Dudleya brevifolia is a high conservation priority because it exists only in these 5 locations (listed by decreasing average yearly population): Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, Carmel Mountain (on multiple sites), Crest Canyon, Skeletal Canyon, and Torrey Pines Extension. The total habitat outside of the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve that contains this species was estimated at just 2,667 square meters.

Endangered species

Dudleya brevifolia is currently listed as an endangered species by the state of California and by the California Native Plant Society. [14] [8]

Dudleya blochmaniae subsp. brevifolia was listed as an endangered species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in January 1982. In October 1996 they withdrew federal protection as an endangered species, citing the threats to the species had diminished and that it was a "covered species" within the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) of southern San Diego County. [23]

Dudleya, commonly known as liveforevers is a genus of rosette-forming succulent plants in the stonecrop family, Crassulaceae, consisting of about 68 taxa in southwestern North America and Guadalupe Island. The species come in many forms, some large and evergreen, others geophytic and deciduous. Yet, despite their dramatic variations in appearance, most species readily hybridize. The flowers of Dudleya have parts numbered in fives, with the petals arranged in tubular, star-shaped, and bell-shaped forms and, when fruiting, are filled with tiny, ovoid-crescent-shaped seeds.

<i>Dudleya edulis</i> Species of succulent

Dudleya edulis is a species of perennial, succulent flowering plant of the Crassulaceae, known by the common names fingertips, lady-fingers, mission lettuce, or simply the San Diego dudleya. The common name "fingertips" denotes the finger-like shape of the leaves; the specific epithet edulis refers to the Kumeyaay people's traditional foraging and consumption of the plant's young scapes. Dudleya edulis is native to the dry, coastal cliffs and chaparral hills of Southern California and northern Baja California, where it has adapted to absorb as much moisture as possible from the nightly fog and marine layer which forms over the Pacific Ocean and gradually moves slightly inland, typically covering all plants and stationary objects in dew. In addition to its inherent drought-tolerance and xeric qualities, this species is also highly salt-tolerant, as it grows almost exclusively facing the ocean, often in exposed settings where it is subjected to regular periods of extreme wind and weather. The species may be found growing on rocky hillsides, sandstone sea cliffs, chaparral habitat, arid canyons, or rooted between exposed, bare rock crevices.

<i>Dudleya cymosa <span style="font-style:normal;">subsp.</span> marcescens</i> Subspecies of deciduous succulent plant

Dudleya cymosa subsp. marcescens is a species of summer-deciduous succulent plant known commonly as the marcescent dudleya or marcescent liveforever. Throughout the months of spring, it is characterized by a bloom of small, bright-yellow flowers with 5 petals, tinged with orange or red. It is a leaf succulent with a basal rosette, with the foliage withering in summer, going completely leafless, a neotenous trait in the genus. This species is endemic to the exposed volcanic rock of the Santa Monica Mountains in California, being found on shady slopes and outcroppings. It differs from its local congeners with its deciduous habit, slender caudex, and narrower leaf shape, although it is superseded in some of these characteristics by Dudleya parva, growing 13 km to the north, which has even narrower leaves and is quicker to lose them. Because of its restricted distribution and small size, it is vulnerable to habitat degradation and disturbance from acts of graffiti and rock climbers. It is listed as threatened by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.

Dudleya virens subsp. extima is a subspecies of succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae commonly known as the Guadalupe green liveforever. It is a rosette-forming leaf succulent, with both green and white waxy foliage. It has white flowers with spreading petals that bloom from May to June. It is a somewhat small plant, continuing a southward trend of decreasing size relative to other Dudleya virens subspecies. This plant is endemic to Guadalupe Island in the eastern Pacific Ocean, which is 241 kilometers off of the Baja California coast. It is very rare, with this plant only surviving on sheer cliff faces and canyons, out of the reach of the former feral goat population rampant on the island. It closely resembles a miniature version of Dudleya virens subsp. virens, but it may be more nearly related to the local Dudleya guadalupensis.
