    Diosma prama flowers grow solitary or in small, crowded clusters at stem-tips.

    The corolla has a jelly-like, translucent upper surface of the disc in the base of its cup. The central part of this disc is the superior ovary with the style erect in its centre.

    Around the ovary the disc spreads as far as the five filament bases, positioned in the gaps between the ovate, round-tipped petals, to just inside of that (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; iNaturalist).
