Euphorbia burmannii false flowers turned into fruit show the three bulging green segments. Styles tipped with decaying stigma remains are still slightly visible on the fruit tops. These fruits have a fine covering of velvety hairs.
Markedly smaller than the fruit, the yellow flowers also present in picture at many stem-tips are about 3 mm in diameter. The plant bears bisexual false flowers (Frandsen, 2017; Smith, et al, 2017; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010; iNaturalist).
