    Cyphia digitata unripe capsules
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Thabo Maphisa

    The fleshy, young Cyphia digitata fruits in picture still have considerable brown corolla debris hanging on, as well as their styles persisting at the tips of the reddish purple and dully shiny fruit.

    The capsule is firmly positioned on the calyx, at this stage a shallow bowl, green-ribbed on its outside with pointy sepal lobes protruding sideways. Each capsule has two locules (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2007; iNaturalist).
