Inflorescences terminal, occupying distal 2/ 3 of stem, usually lax and interrupted at least near base, narrowly paniculate, rarely simple. Pedicels articulated in proximal 1/ 3, filiform, 1-3(-5) mm, articulation slightly swollen. Flowers 3-10(-12) in whorls; inner tepals broadly ovate or almost orbiculate, 2.8-3.8 × 2.7-3.6 mm, base cordate or rounded-truncate, apex obtuse or subacute; tubercles absent.
