The up to 15–20 stamens are fused in a fleshy, thick and long, protruding, divided, fine-haired tube, cut on one side in the upper half, from which the stylus protrudes laterally through the slit. The fünfkammerige, -kantige, bare ovary is above to semi upper constant with a long, slightly conical and plump, bare stylus.
