Delosperma echinatum is a succulent plant, native to South Africa . It is also known as the pickle plant. The new genus Delosperma was erected by English botanist N. E. Brown in 1925, with this species later acknowledged as the type species.[2]
Scottish plant-hunter Francis Masson collected this species for Kew Gardens in 1774. French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck described it as Mesembryanthemum echinatum in 1786,[3] from material in France that most likely had come from England.[2]
