Inflorescence broadly pyramidal to ± cylindrical, cymes ± many-flowered, ultimate branches with 1-2 minute bracts; pedicels 1-3(-5) mm long, slightly elongating after anthesis, glabrous or hairy, ± divaricate in fruit. Flowers: corolla (1-)1.5-2.5(-3) mm in diam., often somewhat hairy outside, greenish, greenish white to yellowish, lobes longer than wide, acute; stamens c. half as long as lobes; ovary c. 0.3-0.5 mm long. Fruit densely covered with white tuberculate hooked hairs; mericarps subglobose, each 1-1.5 mm in diam.
