Tepals equal, 2.8–4.9 mm long, lanceolate to narrowly ovate, apiculate to acuminate, entire, yellowish pale green or stramineous to light brown (rarely to castaneous brown) with hyaline margins. Stamens 6; anthers 0.9–1.5 mm long, longer than filaments; anther/filament ratio 1.2–2.2; style 0.4–0.8 mm long; stigmas 1.3–4.4 mm long, ±persistent. Capsule ovoid, acute to rostrate, equalling or slightly exceeding tepals, light brown to stramineous.
