    Centella difformis flowers

    The small flowers of Centella difformis grow in many-flowered, stalkless umbels from leaf axils. In picture the flower centres are pale green, the five rounded, spreading and faintly hairy petals cream with some maroon on their margins. Brown, globular and ridged anthers are visible in a male flower in the photo.

    Blooming happens from mid-spring to mid-autumn (Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; JSTOR).
