Inflorescences often numerous, pendent, usually cauliflorous, either arising from a low padlike mound ('pin-cushion') or shortly racemose, 3-10(-30)-flowered; rachis striate, glabrous, 5-15(-40) mm long, glabrous or rarely sparsely puberulent, terete, often distally swollen, 8-20(-25) mm long; floral bract basal, inconspicuously ciliate, triangular, (1.8-)2-3(-4) mm long; bracteoles 2, alternate, narrowly triangular, acute, inconspicuously ciliate, 1-1.5(-2) mm long. Flowers with the hypanthium glabrous, coriaceous, campanulate, occasionally slightly enlarged at the base, 1.5-2.5 x 3-4.2 mm in diam. at anthesis; limb drying thinly coriaceous, nearly truncate, slightly flaring, 1.5-2.2(-3) mm long including the lobes; lobes minute, apiculate; corolla usually carnose but often drying as though thinly textured, cylindric or tapering to the slightly flaring throat, occasionally thin waisted with a somewhat swollen base and distally flaring, (15-)17-28 mm long, mostly (2-)3-5 mm in diam., usually bright red for the basal 3/4 and apically white, the lobes acute, oblong, 1-2 mm long; stamens 10, staminal tube 1.5-2(-3) mm long, glabrous, the free portion of the anthers ciliate; thecae alternately 3.8-5 mm long and 4.8-6 mm long; tubules dehiscing by oval clefts 1.8-2.5 mm long; style 18-30 mm long and usually exserted 2-3 mm beyond the corolla, long persisting.
