About White-eyed Ice Plant

[Kew Plants of the World Online](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn%3Alsid%3Aipni.org%3Anames%3A57380-1) accepts Delosperma basuticum, a succulent subshrub from Lesotho. This record is the unselected species, not D. congestum 'Gold Nugget' or another similarly colored iceplant. ## Idaho — BLM fire resistance score 10 The [Southern Idaho master database](https://pocatello.gov/DocumentCenter/View/609/Fire-Resistance-of-Plants--Master-Database-for-Southern-Idaho-PDF), printed page 22, assigns this source row score 10. The groundcover table explicitly names D. basuticum as white-eyed ice plant, with 1 by 24 inches, zone 5, full sun and low water. It warns of possible winter kill at middle to high elevations. Its regional reference values and winter warning are retained without assigning new size or hardiness scalars. Maintain groundcovers by pruning flower stalks and cutting back as needed. This source-specific score does not mean fireproof; preserve other publications and their ratings separately.
