    Recently (2023) described rare island endemic from Baja California. Its succulent rosettes are usually much-branched, usually not glaucous. From foggy cliffs in a narrow microclimate on Isla Cedros, on the Pacific side about halfway down the peninsula. Found near the much fatter leafed D. pachyphytum. Apparently quite similar to D. albiflora, a larger and less branchy plant found elsewhere.

    Not to be confused with D. josedelgadilloi (also recently described and named after the same Mexican botanist), which used to be referred to as a green form of D. brittonii, found on the peninsula significantly further north. This large green rosette succulent is in turn easily confused with D. reidmoranii, which was described at the same time and occupies similar geographic areas far to the north of Cedros, differing mostly in its floral features.

    Described at the same time as D. cochimiana (also from Cedros).
