Amaqabunga aphinyiwe, anezincwajana ezingama-4-6, ipheshana lokugcina alikho; Ipheshana ngalinye linobude obungu-10-15 cm obuzungezwe ngokungazelelwe phezulu, kepha imvamisa linethiphu le-acuminate.Amaqabunga angaba yi- deciduous noma i- evergreen kuye ngezinhlobo.Izimbali zenziwa ngama- inflorescence akhululekile, imbali ngayinye incane, inamacembe amane aphuzi aphuzi kanye ne-stameni eziyishumi. Izithelo ziyi-globose capsule ezine noma ezinhlanu-valve 5-8 cm ububanzi, oqukethe imbewu enamaphiko eminingi.
