Inflorescence paniculate, (5–)8–25(–35) cm long. Flowers cream, rarely tinged crimson, externally stellate-pubescent; pedicels 1–3.5 mm long; hypanthium 0.5–1 mm long; sepals 1.5–2 mm long, persistent; petals absent; disc absent; ovary inferior to semi-inferior, summit glabrous or pubescent, style branched from near base to midway.
