The flower buds are arranged on the ends of branchlets in groups of seven on a branching peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on pedicels Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to spindle-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical or beaked operculum. Flowering has been recorded in November and December. The fruit is a woody cup-shaped to hemispherical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with the valves near rim level.[1][2][3]
