Flowers in terminal clusters. Peduncles 1.25-1.5 mm long, puberulous and with small stalked glands, with linear bracteoles at the apex or on the upper half. Sepals 2.5 mm long, oblong, very obtuse, sparsely pubescent above, conspicuously ciliate, convex and pubescent beneath. Petals 5-5.5 mm long; blade rather narrowly ovate, obtuse, concave, sometimes pilose beneath; claw half to two thirds as long, linear. Stamens with filaments sparsely pilose at the middle. Staminodes 4-4.5 mm long, two thirds adnate to the claw of the petals, linear and very sparsely pilose at the base, with a linear-oblong blade tapering to an obtuse gland-tipped apex. Disk very prominent, splitting into 5 lobes. Ovary densely pilose, with 3 carpels bearing minute rotund processes hidden by hairs. Style sparsely pilose except towards the apex.
