Garuleum bipinnatum seeds departing

The seeds of Garuleum bipinnatum develop from both ray and disc florets, the only of the about eight species of this genus that does that. The fruits of ray florets are narrow, about 4 mm long and triangular in cross-section, sometimes widening towards the tips. Disc florets produce obovate fruits, notched at the tips and about 5 mm long, or thin, sterile ones in the disc centres.

Some of the brown seeds are still attached in the heads in picture; pale dry bracts surround them (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010; Shearing and Van Heerden, 2008; www.plantzafrica.com).
