Ornithogalum strictum flower

The Ornithogalum strictum flower has six tepals in two  whorls of three each. The inner and outer tepals are similar, as good as identical to the unaided eye. The bulging yellow ovary is deeper yellow than the tiny anthers around it. The filaments are white as the tepals.

Each flower is subtended by a broad, bulging to boat-shaped bract ending in a long, conspicuously protracted, thread-like tip (Manning, 2007; Manning and Goldblatt, 1997; iNaturalist).
