Cyphia digitata fruits like beads

The climbing Cyphia digitata has fruited well here on a curving branch, supported by a Euryops multifidus bush in the Biedouw Valley. The photo shows early fruiting in September, while some C. digitata plants in the area still have flowers. Flowering usually commences during winter.

The spaced fruits grow on sturdy pedicels that curve and point the fruit up, as the flowers may have been. Most of them are accompanied by a small leaf (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2007; iNaturalist).
