The flowers emerge from the leaf axils and are cupped by stem leaves. The individual flowers are sessile and have 5 ovate lobes. The flowers are followed by elongated, green drying to tan seed capsules that dehisce (open) at narrowly linear pores to eject the seeds. The leaves clasp the stems and are green, alternate, serrate, sessile, and rounded in shape.
