Inflorescences axillary, racemose; bracts 1-2 mm long, very narrowly triangular, early caducous; pedicels 4-5 mm long at anthesis. Sepals 5, elliptic, dimorphic, two c. 10 x 5 mm, three 5-7 x 3-4 mm, glabrous. Petals yellow, 12-14 x 6 mm, obovate. Stamens 9, trimorphic, two fertile with anthers c. 7 mm long and filaments c. 8 mm long, four fertile with anthers c. 5 mm long and filaments c. 1 mm long; three trumpet-shaped staminodes c. 4 mm long. Ovary c. 10 mm long, glabrous; style 4 mm long, glabrous. Pod 8-15 x 1-1.5 cm, oblong-linear, straight, cylindrical, rounded at apex, tardily dehiscent along both sutures, or indehiscent.

Racemes lax, in axils of apical leaves, 5-15 cm, slender; bracts early caducous. Sepals yellowish to reddish brown, ovate, 5-10 mm. Petals yellow, obovate, 1.1-1.5 cm, very shortly clawed.
