It blooms between September and October producing inflorescences that appear in pairs on a short axillary axis. The spherical flower-heads contain 30 to 40 deep yellow coloured flowers. In December it produces linear shaped seed pods that are raised over the seeds. The pods are up to Шаблон:Cvt in length and around Шаблон:Cvt wide. The seeds inside are arranged longitudinally and have an oblongoid shape with a length of Шаблон:Cvt and a width of Шаблон:Cvt with a cupular terminal aril.[1]
