The flower buds are arranged in leaf axils, usually in groups of seven, on an unbranched peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to club-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum. The flowers are white or cream-coloured and the fruit is a woody, cylindrical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide.[2][3][4]

Taxonomy and naming
