    Albuca viscosa fruit
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Louis Jordaan

    While the Albuca viscosa flowers nod, their fruit capsules are erect. Here still green, the short, broadly elliptic capsules have conspicuously bulging segments or locules. Each locule of the capsule opens independently when ripe to release seeds.

    Dry tepal remains are still present at the capsule bases, although shapeless and not contributing elegance. Less remains of the bracts that grew earlier at the base of each pedicel (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; iNaturalist; Wikipedia).
