    The fruits of Otholobium bracteolatum are small, swollen, slightly beaked pods that do not dehisce upon ripening. They are hairy when young, papery and covered by the calyces. The ellipsoid seeds are dark, from chestnut to black. Seed dimensions are up to 3 mm long and 2 mm wide (Privett, 2022; Privett and Lutzeyer, 2010; Manning, 2007; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; iNaturalist; https://pza.sanbi.org).
