    Satyrium coriifolium flowers are commonly orange, sometimes yellow, the inflorescence a dense spike. From seven to twenty flowers are produced in one inflorescence.

    The leafy bracts below the flowers are erect during the bud phase but become deflexed, revealing their flowers as they open. This starts at the base of the spike. The bracts are up to 1,6 cm long, well longer than the ovaries (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; Liltved and Johnson, 2012; Manning, 2007; Moriarty, 1997; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
