Description

The pale to deep pink flowers of Tritoniopsis ramosa grow in lax, spirally twisted, often branched spikes. Two unequal bracts subtend each flower.

The tepals are joined at the base, the corolla tube from 8 mm to 20 mm long and the flower two-lipped. The long, narrow tepals have darker pink or red markings, in picture only on the lower three and not reaching the tips. The markings sometimes have elongated, white islands in the red, absent from the flowers in picture.

Dark anthers and three white style branches curve below the longer dorsal tepal in the photo.

Flowering happens from around midsummer to after midautumn (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2007; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
