The pedunculated flowers are located within the axillary (Blattachsel) of the whorls (with 3 to 4 flowers per whorl). Each flower is radial with five yellow petals per flower. The petals have a egg-shaped and ciliated tip.
Sometimes, L. punctuata is confused with Lysimachia vulgaris L., but the inflorescence of this species is a normal panicle and the petals have a red-rimmed tip. The leaves are also narrower and longer.
