Euryops rehmannii inflorescence

Euryops rehmannii inflorescence
Author: Ivan Lätti
Photographer: Thabo Maphisa

The longish peduncles of Euryops rehmannii flowerheads emerging near stem-tips deliver their heads in a nearly flat-topped inflorescence above the leaves, a corymb.

The flowerheads in picture bear about six to eight ray florets each. The rays are nearly oblong or narrowly elliptic and two-channelled, appearing flat-tipped due to the recurving of their shallowly rounded tips. The disc florets yet to open are globose, while the open ones each spreads five tiny corolla lobes.

Stamens as well as styles may become exserted. Euryops disc florets are usually all bisexual, apart from in the centre where they may be male only (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; iNaturalist).
