Asclepias eriocarpa, also known as woollypod milkweed, Indian milkweed, and kotolo, is a perennial herb found in California, Nevada, and Baja California. It has lance-shaped leaves and produces clusters of white to cream flowers with pink tints. This plant has been traditionally used by California Indian groups for fiber and medicine. It is also an important food and habitat source for monarch butterflies. However, it is considered one of the most poisonous milkweeds.
