The cylindrical flower-spikes are 1 to 4 cm (0.39 to 1.57 in) in length. The glabrous and linear seed pods that form after flowering and resemble a string of beads that are convex over the seeds. The pods are 6 to 20 cm (2.4 to 7.9 in) in length and 3 to 6.5 mm (0.12 to 0.26 in) wide and have longitudinally arranged nerves and ridges. The dark brown seeds within the pods are arranged longitudinally. The seeds have an elliptic shape and are 4.5 to 6.5 mm (0.18 to 0.26 in) in length and have a narrowly oblong areole. [1]
