Kewa salsoloides flower

This Kewa salsoloides flower spreads its rounded petals with ragged margins more than widely. They droop over the sepals, contrasted against the erect stigma branches over the green ovary. The flower diameter is about 8 mm.

The filaments emerge from around the base of the superior ovary, their chunky yellow anthers raised in an uneven ring around it.

The photo was taken in Goegap during August. Blooming normally occurs from late winter to mid-spring (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010; Le Roux, et al, 2005; iNaturalist).
