Discussion

Although often growing upon other substrates, Dudleya edulis is a pioneer colonist on bare granite surfaces in the mountains of Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties, often the first flowering plant to follow lichens, mosses, and selaginella (G. W. and D. G. Cox 1977; R. V. Moran 1992c).

Dudleya edulis hybridizes in California with D. blochmaniae subsp. blochmaniae, D. brevifolia, and D. stolonifera, and in Baja California with other species of the genus; the hybrids are rather rare (R. V. Moran 1951).
