Inflorescences axillary to pseudoterminal, often pendulous, 2-36 cm long, with (very) long, rarely short branches, rarely unbranched, laxly flowered; cymules dichasial, 1-several-flowered; bracts and bracteoles lanceolate to deltoid, sometimes semi-orbicular, 0.4-1 by 0.4-1.1 mm, not persisting, outside shortly appressed-hairy, margin short cibate and rarely also with short glandular hairs, in-side glabrous; pedicels 1.3-6 mm long, articulated at the base or up to halfway. Flower buds more or less globular, 1.8-4.2 by 2-4.8 mm. Sepals persisting, irregularly dentate, outside shortly appressed-hairy except rim, margin ciliolate and with glandular hairs, inside glabrous, outer elliptic to almost orbicular, sometimes triangular, 0.8-3.8 by 0.8-4.2 mm, scarious rim narrow, inner more or less orbicular, 1.8-5.6 by 2.4-6 mm, scarious rim wide. Petals white, elliptic to broad-ovate (or semi-orbicular), 0.5-3.7 by 0.6-3.6 mm, with some ap-pressed hairs in basal part or glabrous on both surfaces; scales 2, not crested, 0.5-1.7 mm high, long-ciliate. Disc green, glabrous or with few hairs to 5 tufts of hairs. Stamens 8, rarely 6 or 7, exserted; filaments pale pink, 1.2-4.2 mm long, patently hairy in lower half; anthers yellow, 1.2-2.9 mm long, glabrous or hairy; in female flowers filaments 1.3-3.6 mm long, anthers 1.2-3 mm long. Ovary 3-celled, shortly appressed-hairy, style 0.8-3.3 mm long; stigma 0.4-1.3 mm long, 3-lined; pistillode shortly appressed-hairy, sometimes also with longer hairs, 0.7-1.8 by 0.6-1.4 mm. Fruits green or yellow to orange brown, obpyramidal to ellipsoid, obscurely 3-lobed, 3-keeled or-ribbed at least when young, 9-20 by 10-21(-29) mm, stipe l-2(-4) mm; wall 0.6-2.2 mm thick, outside almost smooth to rugose, velutinous, inside villose to appressed hairy. Seeds flattened ellipsoid, 5-14 by 4-9 mm, testa shiny black; arillode red, covering half to whole of the seed (sometimes oblique), lacerate or grossly dentate to lobed at apex, cotyledons unequal or equal, (obliquely) superposed, rarely (Gulliver 32) collateral.
