Article abstract: Introduction: Short-leaved dudleya (Dudleya blochmaniae ssp. brevifolia) is listed by the State Government as an endangered plant species. The only five known occurrences of this extremely rare plant are Carmel Mountain, Del Mar Heights (Crest Canyon), Skeleton Canyon (UCSD), Torrey Pines State Park, and Torrey Pines State Park Extension. This plant is a perennial herb that typically blooms between April and June. Monitoring for this plant was conducted on May 9, 2000 by Keith Greer and Holly Boessow and May 27, 2000 by Holly Boessow, Keith Greer, Heather Bruce, and Bernard Turgeon. The methodology and results of the monitoring are detailed below. The goal of the effort was to continue long-term monitoring of short-leaved dudleya under the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP).
