Delosperma
ζ*Delosperma N. E. Br. ζ* Two spp. have been collected from coastal dry loess banks at Church Bay, Banks Peninsula, where both are casual garden escapes. The genus is distinguished from Lampranthus and Disphyma by having locule roofs vestigial or 0, 5 separate nectary glands, and 1-2 whorls of staminodes conically collected with the stamens. One sp. is a small subshrub with terete green lvs, 5 sepals, and purple petals; the other is creeping with sharply 3-angled, dirty green or bluish green lvs, 4 sepals, and white petals (fading pink). (South Africa, 1988).
