Euryops lateriflorus flowerhead

The short ray florets around the Euryops lateriflorus flowerhead each has two folds or narrow channels near the margins. They also have broadly rounded tips with tiny mucros sometimes visible. The few rays are spaced and female, capable of generating single-seeded fruits.

The disc floret buds in the centre appear globose; their five corolla tube lobes still folded in about identically. Those soon to open near the edge of the disc are now slightly bigger, while the few open disc florets have their lobe tips folded out, the male and female floral parts protruding tall along the margin of the disc (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984).
