The flowers are ramiflorous, that is they grow along lengths of old wood rather than at the ends of branches or in the axils of leaves, singly or in groups of up to 20. The stamens are grouped in five bundles around the flower, each bundle containing 12 to 19 stamens. The cup-shaped base of the flower (the hypanthium) is glabrous, long. The flowers are cream or white to greenish-white and appear between July and November. The fruit are woody capsules, long, with the sepals remaining as teeth around the fruits.
