The sepals are green, egg-shaped to triangular, NaNsigfig=2NaNsigfig=2 long, NaNsigfig=1NaNsigfig=1 wide and larger than the petals. The petals are white, NaNsigfig=2NaNsigfig=2 long and both the sepals and petal enlarge as the fruit develops. Flowering occurs between February and May and the fruit is a more or less hairy capsule NaNsigfig=2NaNsigfig=2 long and NaNsigfig=2NaNsigfig=2 wide.[1] [2] [3]
