    The hairy flowers of Dilatris corymbosa each has six spreading tepals in two concentric whorls of three. The pointed tepals have oblong to elliptic limbs and blackish tips.

    Two of the stamens are as long as, or slightly longer than the tepals, the third has a bigger anther on a short filament. In picture, the pair of long-filamented stamens aged earlier than the short one, the anthers developing from yellow through orange to black before they drop off. The style is bent to the side.

    The fruit is a hairy, ovoid to nearly globose capsule. It has three locules and is about 5 mm long (Manning, 2007; Bean and Johns, 2005; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist; https://www.worldfloraonline.org).
