Inflorescence: scape 40-200 mm long, 1.5-2 mm in diameter, branched, bearing 2-5 pseudo-umbellets with 7-19 flowers each; peduncles 50-180 mm long, 1-2 mm in diameter, densely hirsute with distally appressed curly hairs interspersed with long soft patent hairs as well as short and long glandular hairs; bracts narrowly triangular, 3-5 mm long, adaxially sparsely hirsute and abaxially densely hirsute with distally appressed hairs interspersed with glandular hairs. Pedicel ca. 0.5 mm long. Hypanthium (15-)20-35(-38) mm long, indumentum as on peduncle. Sepals 5, lanceolate, apices acute, 5-9 mm long, 1-3 mm wide, posterior one erect, others patent to recurved, indumentum abaxially hirsute with appressed hairs interspersed with glandular hairs. Petals 5, yellow to creamy yellow, claws forming a floral sheath of 10-12 mm long, apices patent during anthesis; posterior two with feather-like wine-red markings, ligulate, bases cuneate, apices rounded to emarginate, 14-22 x 2-4 mm; anterior three narrowly spathulate, bases attenuate, apices rounded, 11-19x2-3 mm.
