The inflorescences are produced in the leaf axils and are pendulous, measuring up to Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are strongly perfumed, the sepals about Шаблон:Cvt long, brown/green in colour and densely hairy, the petals about Шаблон:Cvt long, white and glabrous.Шаблон:R

The fruit is a velvety, yellow to reddish, bilocular capsule roughly Шаблон:Cvt long. Each locule usually contains two black seeds, each almost entirely covered by a yellow or red aril.Шаблон:R
