Description

Different flowering stages show the out-curving of bracts, sepals and petals of Codon royenii flowers.

In the open flower the yellow-green translucence of the lower filament parts is repeated low on the outside of corolla. The flowers are borne on short stalks in terminal inflorescences from mid-autumn to early spring.

The fruit grows later on a stalk of 1,5 cm. It consists of a two-valved capsule covered in scattered dark red, lenticel-like dots. (The ovary that preceded it is narrowed on the top, appearing two-locular from the intrusion of the placentas.)

Many almost spherical to irregularly angled and wrinkled seeds are produced (Le Roux, et al, 2005; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; Eliovson, 1990; iNaturalist; Wikipedia; http://pza.sanbi.org).
