    The flowerheads of Crassothonna alba grow in small clusters from stem-tips on longish, fleshy peduncles, green or pinkish red as the involucre.

    The somewhat protruding yellow disc is surrounded by one whorl of slightly receding or reflexed white ray florets. Flowerhead diameter is about 1 cm.

    Flowering happens in spring (Compositae Newsletter, 50, 2012; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; Andrew, 2017).
