- Fruits turbinate to subglobose capsules, broadly rounded apically, tapered basally, with about 10 persistent styles arising about 2/3 of the distance from base to apex. Styles straight to curving outward (convexly). Pedicels
slender, ca. twice as long as the fruit length. Capsule surface mostly smooth, opening apically with radiating loculicidal slits, a slit arising above each style and joining with other slits to form a large, polygonal aperture at fruit apex when dehiscing. Nectaries flattened, triangular, extending from the equatorial region of the fruit to the base of each style. Stamen scars numerous (ca. 25 in total) scattered in a broad band at the junction between pedicel and expanded part of the fruit body.
