Male flowers: pedicels 2-3 mm long, capillary: calyx 2 mm across at the widest point, the inflexed lobes transversely-ovate to suborbicular; staminal column 1 mm high, truncate at the apex. Female flowers: pedicels 1 mm long, thicker than in the male flowers; calyx-lobes ovate-suborbicular, 1 mm long, scarcely or only slightly accrescent in fruit, shortly acutely acuminate; ovary hemispherical, 1.25 mm diam., truncate at the apex, smooth; styles minute, shortly bilobate, inflexed.
