    More than one Streptocarpus pusillus flowers are usually borne on the erect, green, hairy stems. Small, green calyces ending in narrowly pointed lobes hardly reach around the back ends of the corollas.

    The white corollas are two-lipped and the long hairy corolla tubes end in five rounded lobes. The smaller lips have only two shorter lobes each. The corollas are fleshy, with shiny cells glistening on their surfaces. There are two stamens in each tube, cohering face to face, the white stigma of each flower, protruding further than the stamens.

    Flowering happens from late spring to after midautumn (Pooley, 1998; iNaturalist).
