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