Inflorescence
The flowers are assembled in small cymes of 2 or 3 flowers, inserted in the axils of the leaves. The cyme is borne by a peduncle of 2 to 6 cm.
Flower
Each flower is borne by a short pedicel of 3 to 5 mm at the base of which are 2 lanceolate bracts. The calyx is composed of 5 lanceolate sepals, 12 mm long at the tip tapered and covered with long hairs. The corolla is formed of 5 petals welded in tube enlarged at the top. It is not very open and purple in color more or less clear, sometimes white. At the top of the corolla, the petals form 5 rounded lobes whose summit is dotted with some long hairs. The corolla is 12 to 20 mm long.
Fruit
The fruits are dehiscent capsules, almost spherical, 6 mm in diameter, largely exceeded by the calyx. The top has a short tip corresponding to the style of the ovary. Each capsule contains 4 seeds.
Seed
The seeds are trigonal. The dorsal face is rounded, the two lateral faces are flat. They are 4 mm long and 3 mm wide. The tegument is dark gray and covered with a strong pubescence of stiff hairs.
