'''''Blandfordia''''' is a [[genus]] of [[flowering plant]]s which are 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'' is the sole genus in the family [[Blandfordiaceae]] and was named by English botanist [[James Edward Smith]] in 1804 in honour of [[George Spencer Churchill]], the [[Marquis of Blandford]].
