Dudleya attenuata, common names including Orcutt's live-forever and Tapertip live-forever, is plant species native to California and to Baja California.[3]

Leaves of this species are clavate, up to 5 mm thick. Flowers are open rather than tubular, borne in cymes with only 1-3 simple branches, hence with fewer flowers than most related species.[3]
