A four-fold flower is formed per node . The flower stalk, which is lengthened at the time of fruiting, is 5.5 to 9 millimeters (rarely 0.5 to 11 millimeters) long. The triangular, pointed petals are 1 to 1.5 millimeters long and 0.5 to 0.7 millimeters wide. The cup-like corolla is white and tinged a little red. Their 1.3 to 1.7 millimeter long and 0.5 millimeter wide sepals are triangular-ovoid and pointed. They are longer than the petals. The narrow, elongated nectar flakes are 0.6 millimeters long.
