Plant closely resembling K. acutipetala in habit, vegetative characters and flowers, but with pale rose-coloured petals fading into white at the base. Stigmas 6, erect or ascending, about 2 lines long. Capsule like that of K. acutipetala, but with only 6 valves and cells, and the cells with a small and rather obscure placental tubercle. Seeds about 5 or 6 in a cell, 3/4 line long, compressed-Pear-shaped, and under a lens distinctly but minutely tuberculate, the tubercules being larger and more easily seen than those on K. acutipetala, brown.
