Lampranthus Laxifolius
''Lampranthus'' is a genus of succulent plants in the family Aizoaceae, indigenous to southern Africa. Description The genus name ''"Lampranthus"'' means ''"shining-flowers"'' in Greek, and the species of this genus have unusually large, bright flowers, of a range of colours (sometimes even bi-coloured), that usually appear in summer, and frequently cover the plants entirely. The species of this genus typically have long, smooth, elongated, succulent leaves. These can be triangular or cylindrical, and like all plants in its family, appear in opposite pairs on the shrubs' branches. ''Lampranthus'' can be clearly distinguished from related genera by its seed capsules. The seed capsules of all of these genera have triangular valves, which open when they become wet, exposing the seed chambers (locules). In contrast to ''Ruschia'', each valve in a ''Lampranthus'' capsule has two wings, on either side of it, but no visible closing body. Unlike in ''Delosperma'', the seeds in ''Lampr ...

Lampranthus Glaucoides
''Lampranthus glaucoides'', synonyms including ''Lampranthus aurantiacus'', known as the trailing iceplant (a name it shares with other members of its family Aizoaceae) and copper brightfig, is a plant species in the genus ''Lampranthus'' native to South Africa and naturalized in gardens all around the world. It was first described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1795 as ''Mesembryanthemum glaucoides''. The orange color of the petals is due to the presence of the betaxanthin humilixanthin. ''Lampranthus glaucoides'' (as ''Lampranthus aurantiacus'') is included in the Tasmanian Fire Service's list of low flammability A combustible material is a material that can burn (i.e., sustain a flame) in air under certain conditions. A material is flammable if it ignites easily at ambient temperatures. In other words, a combustible material ignites with some effort a ... plants, indicating that it is suitable for growing within a building protection zone. References glaucoides E ...

Plants Of The World Online
Plants of the World Online (POWO) is an online taxonomic database published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. History Following the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew launched Plants of the World Online in March 2017 with the goal of creating an exhaustive online database of all seed-bearing plants worldwide. (Govaerts wrongly speaks of "Convention for Botanical Diversity (CBD)). The initial focus was on tropical African flora, particularly flora ''Zambesiaca'', flora of West and East Tropical Africa. Since March 2024, the website has displayed AI-generated predictions of the extinction risk for each plant. Description The database uses the same taxonomical source as the International Plant Names Index, which is the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP). The database contains information on the world's flora gathered from 250 years of botanical research. It aims to make available data from projects that no longer have an online ...
