Flowers yellow, axillary, solitary, confined to the upper part of the plant, during anthesis drooping. Pedicels somewhat longer than the leaves, in fruit erect ascending. Calyx lobes oblong, shortly acuminate, 3-5 mm. Corolla cleft halfway, 2.5-4 mm high, lobes elliptic, acute. Stamens free from each other, as long as the corolla, only at the base adnate to it; filaments 2-3 mm; anthers c. 0.5 mm, oblong, sagittate at the base, basifixed, cells latrorse. Style 2-3 mm. Capsule shorter than the calyx, 5-valved, often irregularly bursting.
