''Blandfordia'' is a genus of flowering plants, placed in the family Blandfordiaceae of the order Asparagales of the monocots. The genus is native to eastern Australia. Plants in this genus are commonly referred to as Christmas Bells due to the shape of their flowers and the timing of their flowering season in Australia. ''Blandfordia'' was named by English botanist James Edward Smith in 1804 in honour of George Spencer-Churchill, 5th Duke of Marlborough, the Marquis of Blandford. ==Systematics== ''Blandfordia'' is the sole genus in the family Blandfordiaceae. Such a family has only recently been recognized by taxonomists. The APG III system of 2009 (unchanged from the 1998 and 2003 versions) recognizes this family. Previously various families were suggested. ;Species〔(links at CSDL, Texas )〕 # ''Blandfordia cunninghamii'' Lindl. # ''Blandfordia grandiflora'' R.Br. # ''Blandfordia nobilis'' Sm. # ''Blandfordia punicea'' (Labill.)
