Searsia lucida flowers

The small, creamy yellow flowers of Searsia lucida grow in sparse, terminal and axillary sprays that branch much, becoming about 5 cm long.

In picture the main stem or axis of the inflorescence is reddish in its lower parts, yellow-green higher up, while the branchlet is whitish grey, the petioles grey-green and the leaflet midribs cream. The photo of all this diverse but subdued colouring was taken during October (Coates Palgrave, 2002; Pooley, 1993; iNaturalist).
