Description

Members of the genus Strumaria have flowers in umbels, typically on long pedicels. Strumaria gemmata is the only species in the genus with yellowish flowers (the others have white or in a few cases pink flowers). The colour is mainly on the midrib of the tepals, which are channelled and have wavy (crisped) edges.^[3]
