Inflorescences cymulose or often only 1-flowered, usually slightly overtopping leaves; peduncle not scapelike, sometimes rudimentary, to 0.3 cm. Flowers: sepals deciduous, oval to orbiculate, to 4 mm; petals rose, lavender, or rarely white, obovate, to 10 mm; stamens 20–25; stigmas 3, sublinear. Capsules subglobose to ellipsoid, 3.5–4 mm. Seeds without arcuate ridges, 1 mm.
