Flowers: Flowers usually in naked or sparsely bracted scorpioid cymes. Flowers bisexual (perfect), nearly actinomorphic. Calyx 5-lobed; 5–10 mm long in fruit, the lobes distinct, linear, hispid. Corolla yellowish orange, 8–10 mm long; tubular or salver form, the throat without appendages, the lobes occasionally slightly irregular. Stamens as many as and alternate with the corolla lobes, inserted on the tube, sometimes unequal, often with basal appendages; anthers dithecal, opening by longitudinal slits. Ovary superior, 2(4–5)-carpellate, the carpels connate to various degrees, 2-celled, often becoming 4-celled by means of false septa, entire to 4-lobed; ovules usually 4, 2 per carpel, eventually 1 per cell, sometimes fewer by abortion, anatropous, erect, ascending, or nearly horizontal, rarely pendulous; homostylous, gynobasic, arising from between the essentially distinct ovary lobes; stigma capitate, 2-lobed.

Fruit: Fruit consisting of 1–4 crustaceous nutlets; nutlets ovoid–triangular; 2–3 mm long; tuberculate; attached to the gynobase at base or slightly above. [Fosberg; 1969]. Seeds 1–4; endosperm absent or; if present; fleshy and scanty.
