Tomentose leaves and flowers. Cotyledon tomentosa is a perennial evergreen shrub, which is a member of the Crassulaceae family of succulent flowering plants. [7] C. tomentosa has red, orange, or yellow bell-shaped flowers between July and September, [12] [7] and there are two recognized subspecies, subsp. tomentosa and subsp. ladismithiensis.
Together with Tylecodon, Kalanchoe and Adromischus, it forms a sister clade to the family's basal Crassula clade. [1] Until the 1960s, some 150 species were included in the genus Cotyledon, [4] but subsequently it was split into at least Adromischus, Dudleya, Rosularia, and Tylecodon, leaving probably less than two dozen species in Cotyledon.
