Inflorescences axillary to pseudoterminal, branching along rachis or not branching; rachis terete to slightly flattened, 3.5-14 cm long, hairy when young; first-order branches up to 5.5 cm long; cymules dicha-sial, 1-5-flowered; bracts 0.3-0.7 mm long, bracte-oles 0.1-0.2 mm long; pedicels 1.5-3 mm long, hairy. Flowers 1.5-2 mm in diameter. Calyx 0.7-0.9 mm high, deeply incised, outside hairy, inside glabrous, teeth equal, not punctate, margin not membranous, apex acute to obtuse. Petals 3-5, elliptic to almost semiorbicular, 0.6-1 by 0.5-0.7 mm, not punctate, claw 0.1-0.4 mm long, blade gradually decurrent into claw, margin entire, sub-glabrous to subpilose, apex obtuse, outside and inside glabrous; scales 0.3-0.7 mm long, adnate to margin up to halfway, basally not auriculate, apex slightly broadened, sparsely pilose. Disc pilose on rim. Stamens 6-8; filaments 3-3.7 mm long, sparsely pilose; anthers 0.5-0.6 mm long, straight, sub-glabrous to subpilose, connective not protruding.
