    The fruit of Moraea lewisiae subsp. lewisiae is a narrowly ellipsoid capsule. Borne erectly in a cluster, in picture still green, the capsule surfaces are longitudinally folded between the segments; slightly transversally as well, maybe between seeds (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2007; Manning and Goldblatt, 1997; iNaturalist; https://www.fernkloof.org.za).
