Flowers fragrant, in many-flowered terminal cymes or panicles; pedicels up to 1 cm long. Bracts linear, up to 3 mm long. Sepals 4-5, hairless, triangular, to 1 mm long. Flowers white, tube 1.5-2 cm long, petals 1-1.5 cm long, 5 mm broad, oblong-lancelike, acute. The style protrudes out of the flower.
