The flower is 25mm (0.98 in) wide and occurs in racemose or paniculate inflorescences consisting of four to 15 flowers. Flowering can occur year-round, but usually two distinct flowering periods are observed, in late spring and in late autumn.

The fruit is wrinkled and its color varies from yellow to brownish-red when ripens.
