Erepsia inclaudens fruit capsule

After flowering, a young Erepsia inclaudens fruit capsule bulges slightly at its top, where its five red-purple, shiny segments are only partly covered by the remains of the sepal lobes. The fruit stalk, by now reddish, was greener earlier, steadily holding the fruit in position during ripening until the seed dispersal to follow (Marais, (Ed.), 2017; Manning, 2007; iNaturalist).
