|discussion=<p>The relatively large, rounded palates make the flowers of <i>Sairocarpus coulterianus</i> distinctive. Plants growing in chaparral and coastal sage habitats usually have basal rosettes. Sometimes, the racemes develop an elongate, prehensile tip. <i>Sairocarpus coulterianus</i> is known from the southern Outer South Coastal Ranges, southwestern mainland California, and the northwestern edge of the Sonoran Desert.</p>
