Inflorescences: primary branches densely hairy; ?peduncles hairy or glabrous?. Pedicels glabrous. Flowers: epicalyx bractlet lengths equal to slightly longer than sepals (usually almost as wide); ?epicalyx segments and sepals patent after flowering, giving appearance of an 8-point star?; hypanthium ?usually shorter than sepals?, glabrous.
