    Clutia ericoides when green dominates

    Clutia ericoides flowers can also appear lemon green, that colour more clearly represented on the sepals that alternate with the petals but close to them in a well-formed shallow bowl.

    Flowers occur at stem-tips but many more from leaf axils lower down. The styles in picture indicate three locules to the ovary, presenting their two-lobed stigmas clearly.

    Around the central flower in picture some of the leaves curve in slightly, their tips orange-brown (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok 2015; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
