Inflorescence a pendulous raceme, bearing flowers almost the whole length; peduncle about 1 mm in diameter, hirsute. Flowers solitary at the nodes on the peduncle, dark red. Bracts 1-1.5 cm long, broadly ovate, acuminate, cordate at the base, canescent. Pedicels 7 mm long, elongating in the fruit.

Petals 1.6 cm long; lamina spathulate, membranous, veined, glabrous; claw pilose and glandular on the inner face of the upper portion, with woolly margins. Nectary joined to the lateral sepals at the base only, with the sides free, much shorter than the basal breadth of the lateral sepals. Ovary deeply 4-lobed, with the ovules in 2 rows, canescent; style persistent, sparsely pilose.
