Masters described this species as having exinvolucrate cymules 
an 2-3- co-celled ovary with numerous ovules attached in a 
double row to the inner angle of each cell. The cymules, however, 
are involucrate, as in the other species of the section, and the ovary 
appears to be constantly 3-celled with 2 ovules only in each cell. 
he cells, which are comparatively small, are situated in the lower 
half of the fleshy ovary, and have very thin septa, whilst the outer 
wall of the ovary is relatively very thick; consequently, the 
dissection of the ovary is unusually difficult. 
The fruits have not hitherto been described. They are brown or 
buff coloured in the dried state, 2°5-3 em. long, and glabrous.
