Euphorbia burmannii false flowers turned fruit show the three bulging green fruit segments. Styles tipped with decaying stigma remains are still slightly visible on the fruit tops. These fruits have a fine covering of velvety hairs.

Markedly smaller than the fruit, the yellow flowers also present at many stem-tips are about 3 mm in diameter. This plant bears bisexual false flowers (Frandsen, 2017; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010).
