    The fruits of Podalyria burchellii are short, oblong or elliptic, flat to slightly bulging pods, densely covered in coarse hairs. The style may persist at the pod tip.

    The seeds are attached to fleshy, collar-like arils.

    Some of the plants leaf colour variations are shown on the branch in picture (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; Gledhill, 1981; iNaturalist).
