The bloom of both circuits are equal or the outer circle are larger. The bloom can be grown. The fleshy bracts are ending anthesis reflexed or spread and then usually fall off. Basically, three circles, each with three stamens are present. The stamens of the two outer circles are fleshy, papillose and often kronblattartig. that of the inner circle are reduced square or too small, staminodes or even missing. The anthers are sessile or there are stamens present. The most bald ovary is ovoid or nearly spherical, rarely ellipsoid. The most short style ends a conspicuous, almost capitate or discoid, rarely triangular or triangular- shield-shaped scar.
