Inflorescences 40+-flowered, lax, open thyrses, 10–40(–50) cm, purple-tipped stipitate-glandular. Flowers: sepals spreading, broadly ovate; petals white, sometimes some with 2 faint, basal yellow spots (sometimes fading upon drying), narrowly ovate to elliptic, clawed, 2–4(–5) mm, 2+ times as long as sepals; filaments linear, flattened; pistils distinct almost to base; ovary superior, (to 1/3 adnate to hypanthium). Capsules green, ± purple tinged, folliclelike.
