Sedum lanceolatum is a perennial herb that is native to California, and also found elsewhere in western North America.
[Wikipedia] Ecology: Sedum lanceolatum is the host plant of the butterfly species Parnassius smintheus. The plant produces a deterrent cyanoglycoside, Sarmentosin, so that herbivores do not feed on it. This butterfly's larvae sequester sarmentosin from the plant for their own defense.
