Trichomes lacking on the axis. Head up to 15 mm (about 10 mm on average) in diameter consists of about 30 fruits. Fruits lacking perianth. Small swellings of the proliferous core tissue are between fruits. Fruits tetra- or pentamerous, fruitlets with long persistent curved styles. Individual fruitlets within the fruit reach different sizes while ripening. Ordinary epidermal cells of the fruitlets differ in size and shape, trichomes and stomata absent.
