Hydnophytum formicarum flower and fruit


The compressed inflorescences of Hydnophytum formicarum appear as a pair of mounds at each leaf axil. Small white flowers are followed by bright orange fruit containing one or two seeds. The flowers of H. moseleyanum are similar but have a longer corolla tube.
