Dudleya cedrosensis (nom. inval.)[1] is a species of succulent plant in the family Crassulaceae endemic[2] to Cedros Island, a large island off of the coast of Baja California, Mexico.[3][4] This plant may have a long caudex, several rosettes that can sometimes be waxy, and a deep pink corolla. It can be found on rocky slopes and canyons along the island.[5]
Although distinct, it is often regarded as a synonym of Dudleya ingens, due to the type collection being later identified as D. ingens aff, and sometimes associated with Dudleya albiflora.[1] Described in Reid Moran's 1951 thesis on Dudleya,[6] the failure of the thesis to be published[7] meant that the species is still not formally described. (See Article 29.1 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants)[1]

Once upon a time I wrote a thesis about Dudleya (Moran 1951). This was in tended as an educational exercise, and it was; but most educational of all was finding out how much I still had to learn - which so impressed me that I never published the thesis.
