Whorls of 3–11 flowers, rarely up to 20; pedicels 6–11 cm. long, angular; bracts membranous, triangular-lanceolate, up to 1.5 × 0.5 cm.; bracteoles about 6, membranous, smaller than the bracts. Sepals up to 7 × 4 mm. Petals white, very delicate. Stamens with filaments 2 mm. long elongating to 4 mm. long at maturity; anthers 2 mm. long. Carpels about 5 × 2 mm., with sessile stigmas. Fruiting carpels 9–12 mm. long. Seeds less than 0.5 mm. long, minutely warted.
