Inflorescences axillary (to pseudoterminal), (unbranched to) branching basally and especially along the terete, usually brown hirsute, 0.5-21.6 cm long axis; first order branches up to 13.8 cm long; cymules cincinnate, 2-5-flowered; bracts and bracteoles (deltate to) triangular, outside sericeous, inside (sub)glabrous; bracts 0.7-3.8 mm long; bracteoles 0.2-1.5 mm long; pedicels 1.1-7 mm long, hirsute. Flowers 3-4.2 mm in diam., fragrant. Sepals 5, ovate, margin and less so outside pilose, margin with glands, inside (sub)glabrous, green to tinged reddish or whitish; 2 outer smaller ones 0.7-2.8 by 0.6-2 mm; 3 inner larger ones 1.5-3.5 by 0.9-3.3 mm, margin petaloid. Petals 5, (elliptic to) obovate, 1.3-3.5 by 0.7-2.2 mm, white; blade obovate, gradually decurrent into the 0.2-1 mm high claw, margin (and outside) pilose, inside glabrous, apex rounded (to acute); scales 0.8-2.2 mm long, free, apex not to hardly broadened; crest usually developed, a pilose flat part of the bifid scale apex, yellow. Disc (uninterrupted to) interrupted (gap often small). Stamens 8; filaments 1.3-5.1 mm long, pilose, especially basally, white; anthers 0.2-0.7 mm long, glabrous, pink. Pistil green; ovary 0.3-2.8 mm long, subhirsute; style and stigma 0.1-2.2 mm long. Fruits with 1-3 well developed lobes, 1-1.9 by 1-2.5 cm, smooth to somewhat ribbed to somewhat rugose-ruminate, glabrous, red when fresh, reddish (to blackish) when dry; stipe 2-5 mm high, slender; margin blunt; lobes 7.5-13 by 6.5-13 mm.
