Sepals 7-20 x 2-8 mm (to 22 x 8 mm in fruit), free, imbricate, unequal, spreading to recurved in bud and fruit, narrowly oblong or ± narrowly elliptic or rarely ovate to oblanceolate, acute to subacute, with margin entire; midrib sometimes visible below, visible and sometimes incrassate above, veins not prominent; laminar glands numerous, linear, interrupted towards apex. Petals deep golden yellow, not tinged red, slightly incurved, (20-)25-45 x 14-30 mm, c. 2-3 x sepals, broadly obovate to subcircular, with apiculus acute to obtuse, lateral, margin entire, eglandular. Stamen fascicles each with c. 80 stamens, longest 9-12 mm long, c. 0-35 x petals; anthers golden yellow. Ovary 6-9 x 4—5 mm, ± narrowly ovoid-conic to narrowly ellipsoid-acuminate; styles 3-5-7 mm long, 0-5-0-9 x ovary, free, ± sharply outcurved near apex; stigmas small. Capsule 10-20 x 8—10(—13) mm, narrowly ovoid-conic to narrowly ellipsoid. Seeds dark orange-brown to reddish-brown, 0-8-1 mm long, cylindric, scarcely carinate, shal- lowly linear-reticulate to linear-foveolate. 2n = 20 ? ( its presumed hybrid, 22 x. H. x. 'Rowallane').
