Inflorescences in axillary racemes and sometimes terminal panicles; raceme axes 1–4 cm long, glabrous except for scattered yellow stellate hairs at apex of developing axes; peduncles normally in pairs, 7–15 mm long, glabrous; heads globular, c. 8 mm diam., 40–75-flowered, white. Flowers 5-merous; sepals ¾-united, golden-hairy on lobes; petals golden-hairy on lobes. Pods flat, to 8 cm long, c. 2 cm wide, thin, transversely reticulate, glabrous.
