Lampranthus
''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 ''Lam ...

Lampranthus Glaucoides
''Lampranthus glaucus'' is a plant species in the genus ''Lampranthus'' native to South Africa and naturalized in gardens all around the world. The compact and rounded shrub typically grows to a height of . It has succulent leaves and produces masses of orange to yellow flowers from August to October. It is considered an invasive introduced species in Western Australia and New Zealand. The flowers open completely in the sun and are called noon flowers. It grows well in well-drained sandy soils and poorly in clay soils. The species was first formally described as ''Mesembryanthemum glaucum'' by the botanist Carl Linnaeus in 1753 in his work ''Species Plantarum''. It was subsequently reclassified by Nicholas Edward Brown in 1930 in the journal ''Gardeners' Chronicle''. Many other synonyms exist including; ''Lampranthus glaucoides'', ''Lampranthus aurantiacus'', ''Mesembryanthemum aurantium'' and ''Mesembryanthemum aurantiacum''.
