Unigenes humifusa flower

The two-lipped flower of Unigenes humifusa resembles Lobelia flowers. The upper lip has two narrow, channelled and acutely pointed tips that approach each other. The lower lip has three bigger, round-tipped lobes diverging and ending in mucros. Dark markings are present at the base of the lower lip lobes. Flower colour ranges from near white to pale blue.

Flowering is said to occur in summer, but profuse flowering was happening end April near Hermanus when the photo was taken (Bean and Johns, 2005; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
