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).
