According to the Plantzafrica website:

The genus Tylecodon is an anagram of the original genus Cotyledon. It was the taxonomist Tölken who described this new genus in Bothalia 12 (1978). The genus Tylecodon, of which there are 45 species, is divided into two groups: dwarf to small shrubby species and the medium to large species. The various Tylecodon species are endemic mainly to the dry western areas of South Africa and Namibia.
