|discussion=<p>First collected in the flora area in 1917 by L. R. Abrams (6555, DS), <i>Cotyledon orbiculata</i> was locally common for years in coastal sage scrub on south-facing bluffs above Newport Bay, Orange County (R. V. Moran 1993, fig. 1), but with creeping urbanization is now nearly gone. In June 1995, the one remaining colony was 10 m wide, with just over 100 flowering stems. This taxon sometimes persists about abandoned gardens in southern California north to Monterey County; C. F. Smith (1976) noted it as becoming naturalized in waste places in Santa Barbara. It is introduced also in South Australia (P. I. Forster 1996).</p><!--
--><p>The plants are highly poisonous to goats and sheep, and the meat of animals killed by cotyledonosis remains toxic even after cooking (T. C. Fuller and E. McClintock 1986).</p>
