Description:The flowers are in rounded, bouquet-like clusters at the branch tips. The individual flowers are tubular, 3 inches (8 cm) across, and have 5 white, blunt-tipped, spreading lobes and a yellow center. There is no tinge of red anywhere on the flowers or the flower buds. The flowers are sometimes followed by dry, brown, linear-oblong seed follicles containing numerous winged seeds. The leaves are shiny dark green above, paler green and prominently veined below, leathery, and narrowly egg-shaped with a distinctive rounded tip. The leaves are clustered near the tips of the thick, fleshy, knobbly, brown branches.
