This member of the Crassulaceae family was given this name by Hellmut R. Toelken in 1978. It is found in the eastern Little Karoo, South Africa, growing in a well drained soil with little water and lots of sun. The caudex can grow to six centimetres, the whole plant can grow to 30 centimetres in height. The flowers are green to pale yellow. The genera name is an anagram of Cotyledon; a closely-related genus. The species name means 'with white hairs', and refers to the conspicuous glandular hairs on the leaves which make the species easily recognisable.
