Lachnaea filamentosa flower

The rounded flowerheads of Lachnaea filamentosa become from 3 cm to 10 cm in diameter.

Some erect styles in the individual flower centres end in the tufted white stigma branches looking like erect bunches of threads (penicillate), shorter than the lanky stamens spreading around them on white filaments. The stigmas may be hard to see in flowers where all parts except the yellow-brown anthers are white (Manning 2007; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
