Description

Fruit forming in a Gerbera linnaei flowerhead involves wide spreading of the involucre, allowing particularly the drying disc florets the space to develop and the freedom of flight when ready.

All parts of the head are by now straw-coloured in a range of brownish shades. The multitude of erect fruits are stick-like more than cylindrical. The pappus is whitish, its bristle tips brown, unusual in the Gerbera genus (Manning, 2009; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; Kidd, 1983; iNaturalist; www.gerbera.org).
