Veltheimia capensis inflorescence

The dense Veltheimia capensis raceme is many-flowered, the flowers short-pedicelled.

In picture the perianths widen gradually from the base to a point two thirds up where an abrupt transition to a wider cylinder occurs. The perianths are pink, deeper on the lower parts with pale speckling more intense in the upper parts here.

The bud tips are green, showing the seams where the lobes meet, closing the tubes. The green diminishes or nearly disappears from the open flowers, the oblong, pointed lobes straight forward here, no recurving and nothing exserted (Manning, 2007; iNaturalist).
