Raceme elongate-oblong, fairly lax, usually secund, 60-280 mm long; buds ascending, greenish brown to maroon; flowers eventually pendulous, creamy yellow or yellow-green to greenish brown, rarely suffused with dull red, faintly scented. Bracts ovate, 4.0-6.5 mm long, usually broadest ± middle then narrowing abruptly to an acute to acuminate apex; margin entire. Pedicels 1-2 mm long, elongating slightly in fruit. Perianth cylindrical, 7-10 mm long; lobes ovate, 1 mm long, not spreading. Stamens exserted by 1-2 mm at anthesis, later withdrawn. Fruit sub-globose, 5-6 mm long. Flowering time: mainly January to March but occasional specimens may flower as early as August.
