    The flowers of Selago dolosa grow in flat-topped to shallowly domed corymb-shaped inflorescences comprising many flowers spreading to 6 cm in diameter.

    The two-lipped flower has a short corolla tube of 2 mm long based in a tiny calyx. Its four or five white petal lobes are oblong with rounded tips, one longer than the rest. The four stamens are exserted.

    Green globular fruit are present among the flowers in the photo. Flowering mainly happens in spring and summer (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010; Andrew, 2017; iSpot).
