Gurania ulei presents shiny bright-orange flowers with wide-open, star-like sepals. On the right is a male inflorescence, and in the center is a female inflorescence. Both kinds of inflorescences usually only have one or two flowers open per day (to keep the pollinators coming back regularly). The mature fruits are blue-green with creamy speckles and a waxy bloom. The plants are mostly hairless and the stems never seem to get very large in diameter or woody. This species seems to be primarily pollinated by butterflies.
