    The thin-stalked Tetragonia reduplicata flowers grow solitary or in small clusters from leaf axils on upper stem parts and at stem-tips.

    The four ovate sepals are reddish and rough-surfaced from small fleshy bulges on the outside. The yellow inside surfaces become visible when the sepals spread or bend back in the open flowers. Clusters of many stamens with yellow anthers and yellow filaments are conspicuous in the flower centres (iNaturalist).
