Umbels 6-8; inserted in short branchlet; axillary; not pedunculate; each with a bract and 7 flowers; short branchlets 1-2 mm. Pedicels ca. 0.4 mm; pubescent. Tepals 6; yellow or yellow-green; sometimes milky white and slightly purple-red; white pubescent outside; glabrous inside. Male flowers: tepals ca. 4 x 2 mm; stamens 3-4 mm; filament laxly pubescent; 2-glandular at base in 3rd whorl; glands reniform; stipitate; sometimes 1 or 2 at filament base in 2nd whorl; reduced pistil urceolate. Female flowers: tepals ca. 2.5 x 2 mm; reduced stamens fasciated; ca. 1.5 mm; laxly pubescent; 2-glandular at filament base in 3rd whorl; glands stipitate; ovary ellipsoid; ca. 1.5 mm; brown pubescent; stigma capitate.
