Petals 1.5-8.5 mm long, ±3.5 mm broad, obovate or obovate-cuneate, shallowly emarginate, clawed. Filaments ±4 mm and 5 mm long, slightly thickened at the base. Anthers 1.3-1.5 mm long. Ovary linear-oblong, densely puberulous with branched hairs; stigma capitate; ovules c. 18 per locule. Siliquae (immature!) 5-6.5 mm broad, linear, erect; valves 1-nerved., puberulous, flat; 1-2 mm long.
