Description

Seen from the side, the flowering of Nuxia oppositifolia displays its complex, dichotomous and trichotomous branching of the flower clusters, comprising cymes and umbels. The final, upper grouping of florets is in threes, positioned close together.

Branching below the flowers happens in a way that presents the white corollas of an inflorescence with their protruding stamens and styles in one convexly curved plane to sunlight and pollinators (Coates Palgrave, 2002; Schmidt, et al, 2002; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000).
