The flowers are in groups of 2-3 borne in leaf axils on a pedicel 3.5–6.5 mm (0.14–0.26 in) long, sepals oval-shaped, 1.6–2.5 mm (0.063–0.098 in) long and falling off early. Flowering occurs from February to August and the fruit is a 3 or 4 winged capsule, elliptic to egg-shaped and with occasional hairs. [3] [4]
