Description

There are tight-fitting, pale brown spathes below the flowers of Moraea polyanthos on several jointed branches. Green, slenderly barrel-shaped fruit are present with the flowers in picture.

The free tepal bases form a conic cup before they spread abruptly. The three stamens present their yellow anthers exserted above the corolla, not quite as yellow as the nectar guides on the tepal lobe bases. The three small stigma branches above the flower centre are whitish, taller than the stamens (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Moriarty, 1997; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist; www.pacificbulbsociety.org).
